The word bicycle first appeared in China was more than one hundred years ago. The earliest name was known as “pedal pushbike”.
In the Qing dynasty, in 1868, Zhang Deyi was sent to Europe by the Qing government on a sightseeing expedition. For the first time, he saw a bicycle on the streets of London. There was already a bicycle rental industry and learning riding bike place in Paris, France.
In the 1960s and 1970s, bicycles were among the luxuries of family life, including bicycles, watches, sewing machines, and radios, but bicycles came first. Bicycles were relatively rare and government tickets were required to buy them. In the mid-1990s, Beijing was the largest bicycle market. In 1995, the city had more than 8.31 million bicycles.
Nowadays, with convenient transportation, people no longer only rely on bicycles for their transportation. Transportation is convenient, there are many ways to commute. The market for bicycles was expanding slowly. However, with People’s growing awareness, people have more understanding of environmental pollution. To protect the environment, protect their own safety and improve their health, many people choose bicycles as a commuting method.
Cycling becomes a more fashionable way of sports in the meanwhile. Many cities have built special lanes for bicycles. In the midst of this year’s epidemic, bicycles are safer and more effective at keeping people distance.
In China, the demand for bicycles is spurring the development of the bicycle industry. The output, export volume, and export amount have all increased steadily.
The industry has a high degree of specialization and the production system is being perfected day by day.
All kinds of steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, and other raw materials supply are sufficient. The raw materials processing, the complete bicycle production painting, various grades of parts and components have already formed a complete production system by specialized manufacturing and types of equipment.
With the centralization of the bicycle industry, the combined effect is obvious. Bicycle technical parameters are highly improved to make superior quality grade. Further, advanced management keeps pace with time.
The output and export of bicycles in China account for more than 60% of the world’s summation. Domestic consumption also ranks first in the world.
Over the years, China’s bicycle industry has been transforming and upgrading in the direction of diversification and high-end branding. For the bicycle industry, we will go back to the manufacturing nature, focus on upgrading, speed up product upgrading, and develop intelligent sports bicycles.
