With every other resident in the city of 22 million using a bike- sharing system, people have gotten used to this colourful sidewalk confusion. The fi rst step is to free one of the bikes from the tangle of metal. Then, the bike’s QR code has to be found and scanned with a smartphone, at which point the lock snaps open – and you’re ready to go. Once you’ve arrived at your destination, the bike can be locked and left behind. Unlike older systems in many countries that still rely on fi xed stations for picking up and returning bikes, the ones in Beijing can be left just about anywhere the user sees fi t.
