中国是自行车王国(zhōngguóshìzìxíngchēwángguó)。自(zì)行(xíng)车(chē)已(yǐ)成(chéng)为(wéi)中(zhōng)国(guó)人(rén)最(zuì)流(liú)行(xíng)的(de)代(dài)步(bù)工(gōng)具(jù)。到北京旅游的外国人(dàoběijīnglǚyóudewàiguórén)，可(kě)以(yǐ)到(dào)专(zhuān)门(mén)出(chū)租(zū)自(zì)行(xíng)车(chē)的(de)地(dì)方(fāng)租(zū)用(yòng)自(zì)行(xíng)车(chē)。在(zài)华(huá)长(cháng)期(qī)工(gōng)作(zuò)的(de)外(wài)国(guó)人(rén)，有不少还购买了自行车(yǒubùshǎoháigòumǎilezìxíngchē)。

Thousands upon thousands of bicycles in the whole country make China a “Kingdom of Bicycles”. Bicycles have become the most popular conveyance for Chinese people. Foreigners traveling in Beijing may go to some places where hired bikes are especially provided. Many of those who work in China in long period have also bought bicycles.
