    Next to that piece, and what kicked off their cities for safer cycling campaign - this should be read by every vehicle driver who has ever ranted at cyclists.

    I'm sure there must be more than a few Chinese people standing at the edge of 8 lanes of stationary traffic in their booming cities and wondering 'what the f**k happened?'
