Hi Joe,
We used TAICO in Berlin. They were very good and much quicker than applying alone..
But to be honest , it's not difficult to get the visa. Your tour agency will provide you with an official visa letter as well as an itinerary including hotels.
It won't mention that you are on a bike and it won't mention that you are going to Tibet.
Make sure you don't mention this either (they don't ask in the form).
As a first timer for the Chinese visa I was happy to use an agency, especially as were nowhere near Berlin at the time. This week we got our second Chinese visa in Phnom Penh without an agency and it was really easy.
If you are going to china from Mongolia, it's also easier and cheaper to get the visa in ulan bataar.
All the best.
Helen
