Most of the papers have a fleet of their own customized delivery bikes. They're painted in the company's colors, and the publication's name is often on the frame's top and down tubes. Matching panniers are a must.
Here's a delivery bike for Guangzhou's most popular paper, the Southern Metropolis Daily:
This bike belongs to an entertainment tabloid. The delivery guy parked it outside a greasy noodle joint at lunchtime.
I love the rain cover on the seat below: a plastic bag. The Chinese rarely do any kind of maintenance on their rigs. They just ride them into the ground, then buy a new one. They let the dirt, rust and grime build up all over the bike. Doesn't matter as long as it still rides.
