The Societe Generale (SG) Cup 2009 China Cycling Tour recently ended in Beijing after traveling through Guangzhou, Shanghai, Tianjin and Wuhan. The China offices of the French bank sponsored the contest.

Pierre Bonzom, head of the commercial and personal banking division of SG (China) Ltd, said the goal was to promote bicycle riding as a way to conserve energy and protect the environment, and that he hoped more people will choose this green lifestyle to help build cities with fresher air and more blue skies.
