Beijing No Longer Bicycle-friendly

Another safety concern is Chinese style jaywalking. Chinese,pedestrians are not patient enough to wait for the lights to change. Usually, they cross the street in small groups with no regard to traffic rules. People crossing the road also have to pay special attention to those who are riding on the wrong side of the street.

Bicycles, especially new ones, are often stolen in Beijing. People joke that if you have had five bikes stolen, then you have become a real Beijinger.

Riding a bicycle is good for your health and environmentally friendly but Beijing is no longer a bicycle friendly city.
