Title: Logos on Chinese Bicycles.
Post by: Tijoe on August 16, 2025, 01:03:33 PM: I have a very interesting question and perhaps subject. I've been an avid consumer of Aliexpress bicycle products for many years. In all of my years of purchasing frames, wheels and a wide variety of consumer goods, I have never purchased any item that is labeled with Hanzi. Everything I purchase usually has some sort of translated Western name as the logo. When I search images for pictures of bicycles in China, I do not see anything labelled with a brand name in Hanzi logographs.

Why?

I think it would be cool to have hanzi characters on my bike. Very few people here in the states would know what is labelled on my bike.

自行车 - Bicycle

This is what I want on my downtube...

You want to think of trump every time you ride your bike?

I'de be with less than 1% of the USA population that reads Hanzi,and perhaps even fewer that would actually take the time to translate what I wrote in my post.
