Sharjah24 - AFP: Dressed in whimsical costumes and perched atop colourful customised bikes, hundreds of cycling enthusiasts converge in Beijing at an event organised by British folding bike company Brompton.
Attendees show off their quirky small-wheeled rides and race to win a limited edition vehicle, representing a growing subculture of trend-conscious urban cyclists, many of whom spend thousands of dollars on a Brompton bike and a host of custom accessories.
Commenting on this, Guo Hualong, IT salesman said, "When I cycle, I sometimes feel like Beijing is getting smaller. I can cycle to a place that would seem too far away when driving. There are traffic jams in Beijing. But when you cycle, there is no traffic jam. I can enjoy the view and exercise at the same time."
