Three years ago on a cold March day I was wandering the Back Lakes Area of Beijing.
Close to one of the lakes and just outside a hutong - traditional compound of houses - was a bike rental shop.
These colorful wacky bikes were waiting to be rented.
A group of rotund western tourists passed them over in favor of a modern version of the rickshaw.
I winced as I watched the Chinese driver struggle to get going. But go he did.
