They're cheaper than cars and still better than walking.
With bicycles made for it's own consumption as well as bicycles made for export around the world, China by far manufactures the most bicycles.Hands down, China. Department store bicycles, once made in the U.S., are now made better and cheaper in China. Even Taiwanese companies, once known to make good quality, cheap, high end bicycles in the 80's, have moved their factories over to China because the labor is so much cheaper there. Add to this the fact China's large population, most of them with bicycles as their only mode of transportation, and you have an incredible number of bicycles!China
China is called the kingdom of the bicycles. Nearly every Chinese family has at least one bicycle, in some cities each family member has one. China has 1.3 billion people, so it's about 0.8billion bicycles in China. No exaggeratin, I'm a Chinese.
Less and less people in China and India will be riding bicycles, so there will be downward pressure on the price of used bicycles in those countries.
Because its much cheaper, makes you healthier, they take less space then cars.
Some people aren't wealthy enough to buy other means of transportation.
When bicycles were invented wood was the only material which could be use to built such a vehicle.At the beginning bicycles were very simple without much of the mechanisms that we can find in today`s bicycles so they could be made from wood from top to bottom.
Cicles doesn't translate to bicycles at all. People often refer to the term cycling as taking a ride on a bicycle. So they are still somewhat related subjects.
because most of the population is in shanghai and hong kong so therefore too many people to drive cars so most of them own bicycles or take a cab, its kinda like a new york of china if you can imagine that. the rest of china has little villages and farming so they dont need vehicles either
Presently, there are about 1.3 billion people in China. According to the website below, in 1987 there were 500 million bicycles in China, and around 1.1 billion people according to the 2nd website listed below. Twenty two years later though, the population increased and so would the number of bicycles naturally, so if the trend continues into 2009, people would outnumber bicycles by a factor of two.Now, to the question "How many people ride bikes in China?"One can interpret that to mean 'ride a bicycle on a daily basis'. This could be tricky, but it might be safe to say three quarters of Chinese people with a bike ride it on a daily basis.(http:/www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/transportation/bicyle-travel.htm)(http:/www.chinability.com/Population.htm)
The Great Wall of China no longer serves its original military purpose, but it is a tourist attraction, so in that sense it still has a use.
