Shenzhen was among the top four cities in the country in terms of the use of bicycles during the seven﹣day National Day holiday.
The top three cities were Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu in Sichuan Province. The data(数据)also suggested that riding bicycles has become a new favored choice for people when going out. During the National Day holiday, the amount of carbon emissions(碳排放)saved by users of Mobike, a bicycle﹣sharing system, was nearly 10,000 tons. The total exercise helped riders burn calories as much as 57,000 bowls of rice. The peak(顶峰)of using bicycles was between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., because of people's demand for shopping, entertainment and dining.
During the National Day holiday, a man in his 50s called Chen Luosheng, arrived in Shenzhen after cycling more than 500 days across the country.
Chen started his journey May 13th last year and had been through 31 provincial areas. Chen said that he not only enjoyed the country's beautiful scenery but also received help from strangers in different places during the trip. On Oct 6th, Chen arrived in Danzhou, Hainan Province.
