Shared bikes have become popular across China’s major cities. There are about 16 million shared bikes nationwide. They are mainly offered by Alibaba-backed OFO and Tecent-funded Mobike.
But poor regulation has created damage on the country's roads, with thousands of bikes dumped in already crowded public spaces. There are no fixed docking stations in China. Once the rider has finished the journey, he can leave the bike anywhere. Bikes in big cities are often abandoned, thrown on streets and curbs. That has led to some problems in cities.
Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Wuhan have banned new shared bikes. Beijing has become the latest city in China to ban new shared bikes. New deliveries of bikes to the city's 15 sharing schemes will be suspended(暂停) in Beijing.
Riders can already access nearly 2.4 million shared cycles in Beijing. And the number of shared bikes in Wuhan's city areas was reaching 700,000, far more than the city's capacity of 400,000.
It said the Traffic Commission would look at regulating shared bike schemes, including guidelines for parking spaces.
