How Many Bycycles are in bajing??

One site states "... China has 450 million bicycles.1 Beijing alone has 9.28 million bicycles". The site also states this is at best, an estimate...

[robbo82]

According to the Katie Melua song, "there's nine million bicycles in Beijing".

That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die....

So that's confirmed then. Katie Melua may be OK for a rough estimate, but caution should be exercised if relying on her as an accurate and irrefutable reference source. She's much like a curly-haired wikipedia in that regard.

I bet she won't love me 'til I die either.

Indeed, littleoldme, though she is stronger on some subjects than others. Whilst her quantification of the number of bicycles in Beijing would indeed seem a reasonable estimate, her follow-up single 'Global Warming is a Myth' was widely decried by the scientific community and her unique dual status as a pop singer / reference source is now under threat.

If Kate Melua says there are 9 million bikes in Beijing, who am I to argue with her?
