Shanghai to increase bicycle lanes throughout city

In a country that was once known as the Kingdom of Bicycles, it's become harder and harder to actually ride one in the increasingly congested traffic. Good news: Shanghai has decided to build a number of new bike paths between major transportation roads and metro stations. In addition, the new bike paths will include an increase in low-cost bicycle rental services, similar to the services offered in Hangzhou. Good for the environment, and way more enjoyable than trying to find a cab during rush hour.
