27-year-old biker Song Renka has been cycling since her teens. “ I’ve been making plans for cycling routes(路线) and matching my clothes for when I’m on the bike. It is not just exercise, and it makes me happy,” Song said.

Song is not the only biker in China who sees cycling as a way to show who they are. All around the country, bikes are no longer regarded as tools for going to work.

RE is a company(公司) in Beijing. The company’s shops not only provide bicycles, but also have cafes and flowers and clothing sections(区域). Biking circles are not just connected through shops but also online communities. Take RE for example, it has more than 20,000 online members and over 20 sub-communities. Bikers take part in creative events such as making their own riding clothes from recycled materials. Such creative ways can also be seen on Little Red Book.

On Little Red Book, there is a biker called MR. He planned a route through the streets in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province that looks like an elephant. It got many likes from bikers. Also, Wang Junjun, a cycling planner in Chongqing, said he designed a very challenging route called “The 3D Adventure”, which guides bikers to know hard-to-find places in the city. “Due to its mountainous nature, not many people ride bikes in Chongqing, but the city is an interesting place to cycle,” Wang said.

Because of COVID-19, more people especially in big cities, have fallen in love with biking around the city. They have begun to see the advantages of this low-cost form of transportation: It is environmentally friendly and also better for their health.
