Conveyor belts for bikes and other power assisting devices are installed at entrances and exits of the road to provide convenience and ensure safety.

It takes around 30 minutes on average for commuters to cycle from Huilongguan residential area to software park in Shangdi.

Due to heavy traffic, it takes more than 40 minutes and even one hour to commute by subway in rush hours.

Beijing has many designated lanes for bicycles. However, cars are increasingly encroaching, and they are often crowded with parked cars.

Beijing has over 1.9 million shared bikes, and over 1,014 kilometers of lanes for cyclists and pedestrians. By 2020, the figure will reach 3,200 km, according to the commission.
