Asked by Wiki User

There are a lot of bicycles in Beijing but there are still more people there. Besides the number of bicycles has decreased certain years where the number of cars has increased considerably. But Its difficult to determine what the number of bicycles in Beijing is right now since there hasn't been any reports of it.
