There are 9 million bicycles in Bejing...

[Bbbananas]

It's a fact, it's a very simple thing.

How do they know? Who's counted? What if a few were 'undeclared' or hidden, huh? I estimate there actually 9 million, 6 thousand and 3 bicycles in Bejing.

[rowanwitch]

Does that include tandems?

[ChuckFickens]

9 million, 6 thousand and 2 bicycles

One just got cut up to make a sculpture.

[Davethedog]

What about Rikshaws do they count

[Bbbananas]

Oh damn, tandems..... I don't know now. And what about tricyles? But bi isn't quite the same as tri... ;-)

Do they have tandems in Bejing?

[Bobbisox]

Katie Melua has counted every one Salla..lol

[Bbbananas]

But I don't think she has really bobbi.. I think she just went on google to see how many people lived in Bejing, then made a rough estimate.

No - rickshaws don't count.

[Davethedog]

Mike Batt counted them Bobbi

[rowanwitch]

also does the number scrapped match exactly the new bicycles produced?
I think we should be told or we have lost one of lifes great certainties

[supersuezy24]

I hate that song...Think she is overrated...

[rowanwitch]

And she makes statements based on inaccurate data, I bet she was part of the team researching the weapons of mass distruction too

[Bbbananas]

Oh, I wish I'd never asked now.....

[Bobbisox]

ha-ha-ha-ha
sorry salla

[rowanwitch]

Glad you did that was a fun little thread,

[McMouse]

Did you hear about the vampire bicycle in Bejing that went round biting peoples arms off?
It was a vicious cycle
