A little video by a model named Elyse Sewell shot while riding around Shanghai. Cool street shots of the Chinese megacity. Music by Manu Chao.
Me in China back in 1990. I bought a cheap and cheerful Chinese bike and rode around. I couldn't be bothered to take it on the train so I sold it and bought a new one at the next stop. Back in 1990 the bicycle was still king in China. The car began to appear in great numbers in the mid-1990's and cycling declined sharply. Fortunately, Chinese cities were quick off the mark and are now trying to implement bicycle-friendly infrastructure in order to curb pollution and obesity.

Awesome you went to China in 1990! You must have been one of the only Europeans there?
ReplyDeleteAwesome picture!
I was in China a few years ago and I bought a bike too. :) i was only there for 3 weeks so when I was done I gave it to a girl I met while I was there. :) I loved riding a bike there.
ReplyDeleteFitting video for your blog ~ everyone knows that Elyse was a Top Model contender during "cycle 1" - right?. I'm kind of a nerd for mentioning it, but it was the only good season of this show. Asia is treating her well and I am happy for her! What an exciting journey life has taken her on. Thanks for sharing. She must be a fan of yours...
