Old Beijing township name AnDingMeng is well developed for green township. Majority of people are using bicycles or electric bicycles as their transportation to travel from one place to another destination. Cycling is safe over here and there are plenty of bicycle lanes for them to move around in their old township.

Big parking bay for bicycles at strategic location such as near to Beijing subway station or shopping center (Carrefour) is commonly available in various location. In Malaysia, we are facing insufficient car parking lots especially near LRT or KTM station!

How to rent a bicycle ? There are many bicycle renting "vending machine" for your convenience if you feel to cycle bicycle at other part of Beijing city. Firstly, you need to have a prepaid card (multipurpose "touch n go" card ) which is showing in Figure 5. Paid a deposit of 20Yuan (RM10) for the prepaid card and reload money as much as you like (see Figure 5), you can enjoy convenience of using rental bicycle by just swiping your card on the screen of the front desk bicycle (see Figure 4).
