 Why have one saddle when
you can have three? by jono84
Beijing is it.
Chaotic traffic-filled roads, more-or-less completely flat land, and knockdown cheap rental makes the city the perfect arena to wipe away the cobwebs, and test out those long-forgotten cycling skills.
Yes, it can be heart-in-mouth stuff at times, but its an experience you will not forget!
For me, it was cycling down the main stretch at Yongdingmennai Dajie during rush hour, with huge crowds of locals coming home from work. It was crazy; hundreds of terrible cyclists all banging handle-bars and swerving to avoid each other. Magic!
You can rent a bike easy enough from most hostels for around Y10-30 a day, and the city is very bike friendly, with plenty of designated areas for your high-spec. machines. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

China used to be called the sea of bicycles and in Beijing today the bike is still a convenient vehicle for most people. Renting a bike may be a better way for you to see this city at your own pace. You can rent a better bike in your hotel and pay 20-30RMB for a day's rent, with a certain amount of money for the deposit first. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

 Two wheeled bicycles are also
available for rent by Confucius
Be sure to lock your bicycle as bike theft is still a big problem in Beijing. There are some bicycle parking lots on the side of the street that have an attendant who will watch your bike for a small token fee. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

Beijing is neat, in that there are bike lanes everywhere.
Not just skinny lanes off to the side added as an afterthought. Actual full lanes, with a curb seperating most from the general vehicle traffic. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

However, when I first went to China in 1986, it seemed that 99% of the people used bicycles for transportation. But in 2001, it seemed that 70% used biciyles and the other 30% used motor scooters or cars. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle
