1980 Are there bicycles all over the street?

In the 1980s, bicycles were everywhere in Qingdao.

However, in the late 1990s, the number of bicycles in our city decreased greatly. There are few bicycles on the road now. The report "Bicycle Rental System for Public Transport" recently published by the Daily reporter outlines the history and future of this kind of transport, which is quite innovative.

Bicycles in Qingdao are rare and famous all over the country. Even many young people can't ride bicycles, which greatly restricts the development of bicycles in Qingdao. Some people think that Qingdao has many slopes and is not suitable for cycling. Professionals have unique opinions on whether Qingdao is suitable for cycling. "Qingdao's slope is not a shortcoming, but more suitable for cycling. Now the bicycle has a gearbox, so climbing is no problem. Many cyclists like the feeling of going uphill and downhill. Many foreign fans even come to Qingdao to ride bicycles, and they want to experience this feeling of going up and down. "

In the 1980s, most employees went to work by bike. Some large units have tens of thousands of people in the whole factory, and there are more than a dozen bicycle sheds in the factory alone. Nearly ten thousand bicycles come in and out at work every day. The scene is spectacular, and people who like photography specially took this scene. Since 2000, with the rapid development of public transport system in our city, the number of private cars has increased rapidly, and bicycles are no longer the main means of transportation, gradually fading out of people's sight. According to the Daily reporter's report, our city initially plans to build 400 bicycle rental points and 5,000 bicycles in Blue Silicon Valley, Sino-German Ecological Park, World Expo Park and coastal tourist attractions. This practice not only conforms to the principle of energy saving and emission reduction, but also can alleviate traffic congestion to some extent. Bicycle rental also means that our city has taken an important step in building a low-carbon transportation system, and the travel mode of citizens and tourists will be more low-carbon and environmentally friendly.

With the construction of public bicycle rental system in our city, low-carbon life will form a mode of "public bicycle plus bus", which can not only effectively alleviate traffic congestion, lack of parking spaces, environmental pollution and other problems, but also effectively solve the problem of the last mile of bus travel and create a seamless connection and zero transfer travel environment.
