Default my new bike

Adam,

I've been to HK quite a few times. I can't recall seeing that many
bicycles while there but I'm mostly in the Kowloon or Central area. HK
and surrounds are very hilly and the public transport system is
excellent.

To quote my Lonely Planet guide

"Bicycling in Kowloon or Central would be suicidal, but in quiet areas
of the islands, in Shek O on Hong Kong Island or the New Territories, a
bike can be a nice way of getting around. The bike rental places tend to
run out early on weekends."

I'd expect bike prices in HK to be considerably more expensive than
mainland China. If you are going to be living in HK for a while,
consider hopping over the border to Shenzhen or Guangzhou to buy a bike
there. Shop around in HK first.
