Low-speed limits in the centre limit the impact of cars, while bike racks on public transport make it easy to travel long distances, Rental shops are everywhere. The terrain (地热) is famously flat, and an online bike route planner makes it easy.
Berlin, Germany
With over 1, 000 km of bike paths, the vast majority of which are protected lanes. It’s no wonder Berliners love to get around by bike. For the traveller, the major sights are within easy reach on a bicycle. The “Call A Bike ”share system allows you to simply lock the bike to any fixed object and call in a code to “return’ it.
Paris, France
Home to the Velib’ public bike sharing system that has over 20, 000 bikes, and with 500 km of bike paths, Paris cyclists can enjoy the city safe from motorists. A Velib’ stationis almost always within sight, or just around the next corner.
Tokyo, Japan
Despite being home to one of the most expansive public transport networks on the planet, Tokyo residents still cycle in large numbers. Though the extent of bike lanes is limited, safe drivers ease the tension between car and cyclist. Unique automatic underground bike parking garages are provided when you need to store your bike.
