Getting Around Beijing

Beijing by Bicycle

The most practical means of transportation in Beijing is still the bike, preserving you from parking problems and traffic jams. More than half of all traffic movements in Beijing are by bike. Beijingers are proud of their biking culture and can be seen pedaling rain or shine, even through winter through the city streets and hutongs.

Renting bikes in Beijing is without a question the way to go.

Tips for Biking in the City:

  • Use your bike bell indiscriminately to tell others behind you! Watch Out!, Get out of the way!
  • Lock your bike. This is the golden rule in Beijing. The safest place to park a bike is at a designated bicycle parking lot with an attendant.
  • Walk your bike on crowded streets and in pedestrian zones.
  • Obey all traffic signals and customs. The Beijing traffic guards are starting to enforce all traffic regulations, especially for cyclists.

Cycle China specializes in bicycle rental and tours in Beijing乫s city central and the beautiful northern countryside.
