A bicycle will give you the freedom to stop where and whenever you want and allows you to cover larger distances than on foot. Be like a local and hire a bike! Bikes are everywhere in Beijing and if you're comfortable negotiating the traffic then hop to it! The roads are very flat and very easy to ride on. Bike hire is very reasonable and available.No Bike, No Beijing! As known as the "Bicycle Kingdom", Beijing is one of the best place to get around by bicycle. More and more visitors of Beijing find out that it's not only nicer and healthier to cycle, but in most cases also much faster.China the country that runs on two wheels! If ever there was a city made for the bicycle,Beijing is it. Chaotic traffic-filled roads, more-or-less completely flat land, and knockdown cheap rental makes the city the perfect arena to wipe away the cobwebs, and test out those long-forgotten cycling skills. Cycling down the main stretch at Yongdingmennai Dajie during rush hour, with huge crowds of locals coming home from work is a great experience one can have, hundreds of terrible cyclists all banging handle-bars and swerving to avoid each other. You can rent a bike easy enough from most hostels for around a day, and the city is very bike friendly, with plenty of designated areas for your high-spec. machines. ...

The newest Beijing map, available at bookstalls, provides detailed line information and all bus numbers in Chinese. If you are not familiar with the routes, ask the conductor for help, since the re-routing for public lines often occurs. When a bus reaches a stop, the bus-stop name will be announced by the electronic bus-stop announcement machine, and then repeated by the conductor or the driver. All announcements are in Chinese, and conductors and drivers typically do not understand English. Some buses along the route or places where there are more foreigners announce the stop names in both Chinese and English. Inform the conductor or other passengers of your destination in advance, and assistance may be provided when approaching your stop.

Trip to Beijing is very refreshing, public buses is such an experience than the metro trains in Beijing signboards are in Chinese only. Public buses in Beijing have announcements for the stops in English. Beijing has one of the best public transportation systems in China. The way to use public buses can be systematic. First: Identify where you are or the name of the bus stop. Check out the nearest bus-stop to see which buses coming into the bus-stop, and buses that leave the bus-stop. Second: Read the bus routes in the bus-stop to see whether any buses go where you want to go. Sometimes, you might need to go to another bus-stop to transfer to another bus to get where you want to go. For example, If you go to the East side, identify the bus that goes to the area on the east side, then transfers to another bus to your destination. Or take the bus to the nearest Metro station. All the bus routes only stop at assigned bus-stops. It would be better if you know the bus-stop name. The bus fare is displayed near the door, or in front of the bus. Mostly Y1 each ride for non air-conditioned buses, and Y2 each ride for air-condition buses. Buying smart card at the Metro Station can be feasible during travelling. It can be used for public buses with great discount. Instead of Y1 or Y2, you pay only 40 cents each ride using the card.You can always ask people around which bus to take. During peak morning hours, an officer with helps or assists passengers with bus information in some bus-stops. There is an iPhone application that help you to identify the bus routes in Beijing. This mobile application is not only applicable in Beijing, but major cities in China. Google map not only helps you to get a direction, but it provides you with the public bus routes.Taking public buses are the way to see Beijing from a different angle!! ...

Beijing is neat, in that there are bike lanes everywhere. Not just skinny lanes off to the side added as an afterthought. Actual full lanes, with a curb separating most from the general vehicle traffic.As Beijing's traffic can be very hard, Tourist Tube suggests you to rent a bicycle, even though you must be very careful when riding it because of the chaotic and crazy car drivers and also if you are not used to cycling in heavy traffic, it can be intimidating. Anyway it's a great way to explore and that's a good opportunity to be a local for a moment! Riding a bike in Beijing is one of the best, most convenient, cheapest, healthiest and safest methods to get familiar with the city. The roads in Beijing have special tracks for bicycles and places for renting bikes are everywhere. And if you have a flat tire you will find right in the corner someone to repair it .Many hotels also rent bicycles for the whole day plus a refundable cash deposit. Just grab one bike and go, go to see the hutongs (small alleys), talk to people, eat on the streets and explore the wonderful city of Beijing This is a great, fun, cheap way to get around and to get a feel for Beijing. Take a look of the sites of the Inner city of Beijing. The not-so-polluted city and this might be the optimal way to see the sights and get a little exercise at the same time. In Beijing traffic, there is always a choice. You can be stuck in a cab, going nowhere, because some drivers, trying to get ahead in busy traffic, have blocked up some intersection, leaving an entire block trapped in a huge gridlock. Alternatively, you could be peddling your way through the most narrow hutongs, the wind in your hair, swerving around any obstacles that you might come across, free as a bird. ...
