ã€Global Science and Technology Report】 According to foreign media Quartz reported on August 22, with the surging share of bicycle boom, there are more and more signs that it may have a serious impact on urban traffic. Over the past year or so, dozens of startups have rushed to become "Uber" in China's shared bicycle industry, sharing bicycles on the streets of many cities in China. For some time, local governments did not seem to be able to stop the massive "rubber" and "aluminum blocks" that stopped at the crosswalk and piled up next to the office building. But now, some cities have begun to say "no" to them.

On August 18, the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Bureau issued a notice to the sharing bike companies requesting the sharing bicycle company to prohibit the launch of new shared bicycles on the street. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, there are 1.5 million bicycles on the streets of Shanghai and one for every 16 people. At the same time, the Shanghai government also asked the sharing bike company to distribute bicycles throughout the city so that consumers can ride bicycles everywhere, not just at designated locations.
For Quartz's comment request, China’s two largest bike companies, ofo and Mobba, did not respond in a timely manner. However, in an interview with Hubei TV station this week, OFO stated that it is solving problems in Shanghai. “This month, ofo has dispatched more than 80 extra vehicles to relocate the bicycles and sent 2,500 workers to carry out the cleaning and maintenance of the bicycles.†said Shanghai Head of OFO, “We are actively cooperating with the government to clean up the city. The cry."
Similar to Shanghai, other cities in China have issued similar regulations. On August 3rd, the Guangzhou Municipal Government called on the sharing bicycle companies to stop placing new bicycles on the streets, in addition to the more than 800,000 shared bicycles currently in circulation. On August 5, the Nanjing Municipal Government requested that new shared bicycles be banned from the streets, and from the beginning of next year, the company’s shared bicycles must obtain government permission. As early as July 27, the Zhengzhou municipal government in Henan Province also proposed similar regulations to fix the number of shared bicycles in the city to 390,000.

At the same time, the National Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China has introduced the nation’s first shared bicycle regulations that require users of shared bicycle companies to register with real names, provide insurance for passengers, and prohibit the provision of services to children under the age of 12. The regulations also “encourage†local governments to provide adequate legal parking space for shared bicycles and allow companies to provide ride services without a deposit.
The formulation and introduction of the national and local sharing bicycle regulations is not a small impediment to the core business model of the industry. The income of a shared bicycle company depends on the ride of the user, while riding requires ensuring that the bicycle is near the user. Although placing dozens of bicycles on each street will ensure that there will always be one bicycle near the potential cyclist, this will also cause problems with vehicle chaos and oversupply. The move to limit the number of road bikes will probably help to break this battle of losing control over entrepreneurship.
