5. So how are those who rely on transportation by bicycle going to...
...be able to get around? Even if you were to take the pollution factor out of the equation, the majority of bicycle users wouldn't be able to afford a car. I don't have any idea what the public transportation situation is in China, but I would bet my last dollar that it can't support an increase in 9 million users in Shanghai or however many million users in Beijing.

An all around lose/lose proposition. Keep the poor oppressed and create more globe-damaging pollution. What the hell are they thinking? Smacks of corporate dominance.
