Renting or purchasing a bike moves you one rung up the traffic food chain and is a less tiring way to get around. Youth hostels rent out bikes for around ¥20 ($2.50) per day, or you can purchase a second-hand bike from a street-side repair stall for less than ¥100 ($12). Bike traffic is orderly, and unlike Guangzhou and Shanghai, the capital has yet to block off large numbers of streets to cyclists. Whether you walk or ride a bike, avoid sudden changes of direction, and go with the rather substantial flow around you.
