About KTC

KTC documents practical information for cycling in China: routes worth riding, logistical guides for getting around, and tools for navigation and planning.

What's Here

Routes — Day rides and multi-day bikepacking routes with detailed stats, conditions, and logistics. Every route is ridden and documented firsthand.

Guides — Practical information: how to take bikes on trains, which apps work offline, bike shop recommendations, and essential Chinese phrases for cyclists.

Tools — Utilities for route planning, including coordinate conversion between China's GCJ-02 system and standard WGS-84, and climb analysis tools.

Journal — Field notes from rides: what worked, what didn't, and observations from the road.
