Public bike rental system in Huangyan

There are dozens of cities in China where after a small deposit ($45) and getting a card, people can rent a public funded bicycle. The rental is free for up to one hour.
In the city I live in, there are a few dozen bike rental stations scattered throughout the city. Located at many popular locations like parks, shopping areas and public transportation hubs the bikes have saved me a lot in taxi fees.
In Hangzhou and large city of 9 million people one hour east of Shanghai, there are over 200,000 rental bikes.

Great captures, AsiaPaul. It sure helps in getting around in many cities, especially Europe. London has them but the traffic is anti-cyclist in my experience. Love the lady with the parasol. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

You can blame the buffoon Jeremy Clarkson for the anti-cycling sentiment in London.

Who is Jeremy Clarkson? Is he a fellow Hogger?

Nice shots and informative . Bikes are a major mode of transportation in the East in general . Was surprised to see the rental stations . Good idea !
