大約30年前,中國被稱為“自行車王國”。但隨著自行車被燃油驅動的交通工具所取代,這種雙輪交通方式的熱度也開始衰退。
但近幾年,中國大地上見證了一場普通自行車的復興,越來越多的人選擇騎車上班、上學、游覽觀光,而非駕車出行。而由摩拜單車、哈啰單車等新興公司發起的共享單車計劃,則將這一趨勢帶向了一個新高度。
About three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But the popularity of the two-wheeled mode of transport began to fade as many bikes were replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.
But recent years have witnessed a resurgence of the ordinary bikes across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to workplaces, to schools or to go sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing schemes, initiated by start-ups like Mobike and Hellobike, has brought the trend to a new height.
