So you've all probably heard about the huge smog situation in Beijing, and though by the time I got there 2 weeks ago, it was long gone. And there was blue skies to be seen, but the traffic jams are still there.
Anyway I managed to find this at night near my hotel.

| Bikes for rental. |
These bike kiosks are found all over Beijing. Imagine how China used to be full of bicycles and with the economic progression over the last decade, there are a lot more cars than bicycles and pollution has crept up. And perhaps now the government is regressing on its stance and hope that the people go back to cycling which will help to lessen the smog and pollution seen recently.

Found on the local newspapers for a westerner innovating and inventing a anti-pollution bike to fight the smog in Beijing.

His home-made in China bicycle has a build-in respirator attached to the bicycle. So one can still cycle despite how bad the smog is!
