Bike in China

This week I'm in China for my work and if you did not see this you will not believe it. We have regular bikes, mountain bikes and race bikes in Europe. Here in China they have also transportation bikes. It is incredable how these people act on a bike. They can put 2 m3 of load on a bike and are still able to ride this thing. If they would go to the Mont Ventoux with a racebike they would be on the top as first.

This is an experience that I never forget my whole life. Crossing a road here is as dangerous as riding down the Mont Ventoux without brakes. The traffic lights are there to show people what nice collours they have. Red doesn't mean automatically stop, it's just a colour. Where ever green means drive and this they do understand.

We use the horn to make contact to others for a hazard or to say hi to a friend. Over here they use this button for everything. This is the button that is used the most of the whole car.



I wanted to do some training over here but I have to commit that I didn't, so the challenge for me is getting bigger and bigger.
