Qian Jiaqi,39,who took up cycling in Beijing as a hobby,has seen a well-known route he often takes after work become increasingly crowded with fellow cyclists during evenings and weekends.
"This summer on Chang,an Avenue,it's like the Tour do France every night as cyclists on a wide range of bikes constantly try to catch each other,"Qian said."On the avenue,traffic jams are now forming in bike lanes,as well as in those designed for motor vehicles.It's quite funny in a way."
According to business insiders and experienced cyclists such as Qian,cycling in urban areas has become increasingly popular over the past two years in China,which was known as the "Kingdom of Bicycles"in the 1980s and early 1990s.
The emergence of COVID-19,the introduction of cycle lanes,and the seeking of healthier lifestyles have helped relight the nation's passion for cycling.
Chang,an Avenue is the most popular route for cyclists in Beijing,with its two cycle lanes positioned alongside those for motor vehicles.Motorcycles were banned from the cycle lanes on May 9 last year,providing a safer and smoother experience for those turning the pedals(踏板).Chinese scholar trees planted alongside the bike lanes shade cyclists from the summer heat.
The avenue is also the perfect place to observe different types of cyclists.Those such as Qian always attempt to improve their time,so it's easy to sense their frustration when they have to stop at red lights.Others prefer to ride at a slower pace,never missing the opportunity to take photos of Tian'anmen Square at sunset on their phones.
Qian said,"Many people have discovered the therapeutic(治療的)benefits of cycling during the COVID-19 epidemic.The measures taken to control outbreaks of the disease have resulted in the public longing for activities that give them the feeling of freedom and which are good for their health.Cycling ticks all the boxes."
