Bicycles in China
Bicycles in China are ingrained in every day life, are an important means of transportation and are visible everywhere. Also in the big cities cycles dominate streets although more and more cars and highways are being built. Bicycles make for a colourful addition to sometimes grey streets. And at times it is incredible to see for which purposes cycles can be used. Not only to go from A to B, that's for sure!
Many bicycles are used as market stalls, carrying all kinds of ware. Extremely convenient, you can always try a new market in a new neighbourhood to see if your products have more chance of being sold. You can stock up whenever you want, and taking your shop from one point to another does not cost more than pedalling a few kilometres. Bicycles provide for truly mobile business!
But bicycles can also be used for transporting goods. And I don't mean just a little bag on the back of your bicycle. In China, bikes can take anything from a plant to a collection of suitcases, to livestock to a pile of computers. Since Chinese traffic is a clear example of the right of the strongest, the more visible (often, the higher) your load, the more respect you gain. Anyway, looking back for other traffic becomes impossible for these heroes on two or three wheels.
Bikes in China
China impresses many as the kingdom of bicycles. China had 500 million bicycles by 1987. One bicycle for every two people of its population. Bicycles in China are ingrained in every day life and are an important means of transportation and are visible everywhere, which is quite different from that bike-riding is just one way of physical exercise or a sport.
Though multi-geared "mountain" bikes are starting to become more and more popular, most Chinese still ride the venerable all-purpose 1-speed commuting bike. The basic model is the one with fenders, chain guard, kickstand, rod brakes, bike bell, rear package carrier, and usually a front handlebar basket. None come equipped with lights of any kind for nighttime riding. It was quite common to see, in 1980's, an entire 3-person family commuting around on a single bike, usually with the father pedaling, the kid perched on an improvised seat squeezed in behind the handlebars, and the wife sitting side-saddle on the rear rack. However, this scene tends to vanish with the improvement of living standard -- one family is rick enough to afford two or more bikes.
