Pudong residents told 'get on your bike'

A public bicycle-sharing program has been launched in a Shanghai community to encourage more residents to get out of their cars and enjoy a healthier, low-carbon lifestyle.

A total of 30 stations with 800 to 900 bikes will be set up throughout the city's Jinqiao community in the Pudong area over the next three years.

As an incentive to use the bikes, people who work or live in the community can ride anywhere for free within the first hour.
