=Beijingers get back on their bikes= The time has come again for the Beijingers to get back on their bikes. People thought riding bikes to work is tiring and taking a car denses traffic. But now there's a solution. Electric bikes! They run on electricity and they are small for easy travel. Problem is not everybody likes them. the government is trying to get people to buy the bikes to get less traffic. After all, China use to be called "Kingdom of Bicycles", it might come true again. Not much bikes are out now. 50,000 bikes will be made by 2015. The report was given on March 11th, 2010, Thursday. The bikes will be sold all over Beijing and if successful, possibly all over China where there's people. People should know this, in case they go to China and they want good transportation for 1-2 people. This is important because this could lower Global Warming a lot, since the bikes run on electricity, not gas.

My BBC News article had more info on the electric bikes and they describe more on what's the problem in China. They also say what does the public in China think about the problem and the electric bikes. My China Economic Review mainly talks about why the government wants the people of Beijing to go back to bicycles (not the electric ones).

My opinion is that I think the electric bikes is a excellant idea. It saves gas, doesn't cost as much as a car, and it helps reduce Global Warming! I think the US should also make or get these bikes. The sooner we use them, the better our world can heal. One more thing: YAY! We won't die early! Unless no one uses the bikes..........
