Riding a Bicycle

中国是自行车王国。自行车已成为中国人最流行的代步工具。到北京旅游的外国人，可以到专门出租自行车的地方租用自行车。在华长期工作的外国人，有不少还购买了自行车。

Thousands upon thousands of bicycles in the whole country make China a “Kingdom of Bicycles”. Bicycles have become the most popular conveyance for Chinese people. Foreigners traveling in Beijing may go to some places where hired bikes are especially provided. Many of those who work in China in long period have also bought bicycles.
