Cycle news
Yang, who works as a tour guide in a musical museum. Has quite good English fortunately.
Unfortunately he's shy about using it, so we don't talk much.
He took me out on a bike ride of the city. I'm using and old clunker that weighs more than me and has roller brakes which, like the brakes on most bikes, barely work at all.
BJ has enormous number of cycles and most of them are in use most of the time. Very wide cylce lanes and cyclists cross junctions in packs - even the most rabid motorist (and the motorists don't appear to be rabid here) thinks twice before taking on the pack.
BJ is v flat, seesm almost to be downhill everywhere, except when the wind is against you.
