If there’s one thing that hurts more than hurt from cycling around China for 460 days, it's having the bike you did it on stolen just days before completing your trip. That's what happened to cyclist Wang Ping'an as he neared the end of a two-wheel trek that covered thousands of miles through every major province in the vast country, according to local media.

Arriving in the southern city of Shenzhen, in southern Guangdong province, Wang locked up his mountain bike to check out electronics markets in the city's Huaqiangbei area. Within 10 minutes the thieves struck. "Huaqiangbei is famous and I was keen to visit there because I want to work in the electronics industry in the future," he told the Southern Metropolis News. "I have been to so many places. I didn't even lock my bike in some cities, but it wasn't lost. How come it's gone after I spent a little more than 10 minutes in Huaqiangbei?"

From Guangxi province, next to Guangdong, Wang reportedly began his 29,200-kilometer cycling mission after graduating from university last year. He's taken in some of the country's most faraway places, including Mohe in Heilongjiang, China's northernmost and coldest place, Urumqi in the west and Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture in the southwest.

In fact, he's done it on an initial budget of just more than $100, making his money go further by staying with friends along the route. That charity ran out with only a few more days of cycling before he will end his long journey, the southern island of Hainan. Wang says he called the police, but hopes were not high of finding the thief among the 100,000 people who daily visit Huaqiangbei.
