是不是只有中國的大城市才有如此多自行車,為什麼?

感覺現在北京交通好很多,就是自行車逆行闖紅燈情況很多,比較影響交通,同樣的人口密度較大的城市比如東京洛杉磯首爾法蘭克福等為什麼自行車作為交通工具出現情況比較少
ps補充一下,可能是我表述不清,我沒有否認或者否定自行車。只是好奇同為人口密度極高且沒有大量上下坡的城市,為什麼紐約東京等城市在歷史進程中沒有像北京如此大量使用自行車作為交通工具?
十分感謝@顯微無間 的答案 是我印象化了,按人均來說以歐洲最多,直觀而言,作為交通工具主題則越南,中國,泰國,朝鮮偏多,我認為主要原因是經濟,地勢,和人口密度和氣候決定,以亞洲發展中國家為主。


謝邀,

我是自行車的提倡者。自行車鍛煉身體,環保,快捷。我在昆明6年一直都用自行車出行,騎得比汽車還快。現在歐美城市騎自行車很流行,很多高薪白領都騎自行車上班。

題主提的北京自行車逆行,闖紅燈問題,我覺得理由有如何:中國現代城市規劃馬路修得很寬,街區離得很遠。自行車很多地方要是遵守交通規則,得繞很久,費多麼的勁兒。我主張城市規劃不該如此懲罰自行車,自行車的行為是一種protest an unjust design的手段。關於闖紅燈,我不提倡這種行為,但是我同時吐槽汽車業經常闖紅燈,而汽車闖紅燈比自行車闖紅燈對他人的危害更大。

現在很多城市(歐美,還有亞洲)自行車道修得很完整,很整齊。但是在我老家舊金山,自行車還是有點亂,經常和汽車和行人發生衝突。

對了,北京的人口密度比洛杉磯高很多。洛杉磯人口太分散,不適合自行車出行。


並不只有中國,還有:

List of top countries with most bicycles per capita
16 February 2015

Bicycles were introduced in the late 19th century and since then they have been proved to be of great use. The image of the cycles have not been intact because in the recent times the production of bicycle has shot up. The probability of number of bicycles is directly double to the number of cars running on the roads through out the world.


Since its inception, bicycles have been employed for a variety of uses such as in the fast growing lifestyle segment it is used as a gyming substitute in most of the parts of the world. However, there are several countries across the world where bicycles are being used as a medium of earning. Here, we have come up with a list of the top 8 countries which have the highest number of bicycles per capita.


1- Netherlands- Netherlands is proudly pronounced to be the country of cyclists as it carries the record of the largest number of cyclists in the world. Amsterdam, the capital of Netherlands is known as the favourite spot for cyclists as the city has more than 500 km of bicycle lanes and 50% of the total commuting is done on bicycles.

2- Denmark- Cycles are generally assumed as the cheapest mean of transportation. They are also healthier, eco-friendly and quicker than the cars and motorcycles for commuting in Denmark. In 2012, the number of people commuting via bicycles was recorded 40% of the total commuting and was highly anticipated to increase the number to 50% by 2016.

3- Germany- Bicycle ride is ingrained in the German culture and perhaps there would be someone who would have not riden bicycle in his entire lifetime. Here most of the people prefer commuting via bicycles and the fact that everyone has grown up by riding bicycles makes the bond among the bicycle riders, drivers and pedestrians stronger.

4- Sweden- The people of Sweden are considered to be the best people when we talk about the bicycles because they understand the value of bicycles more than television. There might be some of the cases where people own different types of bicycles as per the family members but have no TV at their home.

5- Finland- The people of Finland just love to pedal their bicycles and the love of bicycles can be easily compared with the love of their pets. The people love to ride the bicycles without following the caste system or the age bar. From housewives to tourists, children to grown-up people, everyone eternally love cycle rides here.

6- China- Shanghai, the most populous city in china, faces the worst traffic jams and health issues. So, to avoid the long trails of traffic jams and the crowded trains and buses, people in Shanghai love to commute via bicycles. Most of the people pedal to their work.

7- Switzerland- Just more than an activity, cycling in Switzerland is the most preferred way to enjoy the scenic vistas and to enjoy the hospitality of the local people. Swiss people promote bicycles and they even run a campaign called 「Bike to Work」 where people ride their bicycles to work.

8- Belgium- Belgians are very passionate about the bicycling culture and their love for their bicycles is unmatchable. People in Belgium always have premium and well maintained bicycles. The best thing about the Belgians are they always follow the traffic rules. Belgians always use helmet while bicycle riding and they also wear bright clothes to make themselves visible to cars and motorbikes.

India is not yet a part of this list in spite of being the second largest bicycle manufacturer country serving 40% of the total world market share. Indian govt. should also promote bicycle culture in the country, which will be beneficial to both individuals as well as country.

中國是一個自行車王國——這話,大概有個十年八年沒人提了吧~~如今的年輕人恐怕都沒聽過這句話。

飛鴿、鳳凰、永久……自行車曾經是中國人最主要的出行工具,這些品牌可以說影響了中國幾代人。對於人口如此眾多的國家,能夠全民擁有自行車(大部分家庭都有2輛甚至更多自行車),絕對算是一個奇蹟了。

至於為什麼,以當時的中國經濟情況來說,汽車是無法普及的。而進入城市化後,交通靠腿也不現實。而中國人善於研究改進,自行車能通行、能載人、能載重……總之,就是經濟條件和使用環境的結合,讓自行車成為了最適合的,也是需求量最大的工具。

但是,今天,自行車王國的光環正在褪去。題主或許疑惑自行車怎麼這麼多,實際上……已經處於衰退期好多年了~~只不過,十分之一、二十分之一的剩餘,也夠看的了~~

導致自行車衰退的是汽車。不多論述這個部分了,總之,汽車正在成為一個城市新問題。限行、限購等等措施滿天飛,也擋不住汽車的發展。而國家現在想起來自行車,回頭看卻發現自行車都順理成章進化成了電動自行車……

或許,沒有辦法了,歷史車輪向前滾,再過十年,自行車只能在「運動」這個項目上搶救一下了~


說自行車逆行闖紅燈的,題主不如咱說說多少自行車道被佔了,多少汽車不懂得讓行,多少交通信號燈設置有問題?
至於我自己,騎車上班比坐車方便,也快。我努力遵守交通規則,也有時候用血肉之軀在人行道擋騎車,但是沒什麼用。
坐標北京。


哥本哈根在角落慢慢哭。


重慶大城市吧,幾乎沒自行車。


中國20年前或者10年前都可以說是自行車王國。
如今,甭管是大城市還是小城市自行車都已經不佔主流了。
我覺得叫電動車王國還佔點邊(&>_&<)
如果石家莊算是「大城市」的話,自行車可以說是中國城市中比較密集的了。
南方重慶啊之類的都不是平原道路就不適合自行車,所以南方的大部分城市基本不會有太多自行車道,頂多是那種政府在幾個地點弄點免費自行車搞搞面子工程而已,不然就是海邊啊,山邊啥的弄點雙人自行車騎著玩,比如廈門海邊環島路騎自行車。

北方的城市規劃四四方方道路橫平豎直的很適合自行車出行,不過由於城市的極速擴張,自行車出行還是有點累。不如坐機動車舒服。
比如北京,我小時候看電視上演北京的片段還是有很多自行車出行的,如今北京都修到6環,太大了,你說去家附近超市買個菜騎個車還行,或者校園裡太大了整個自行車。再或者你愛騎車是個健身當運動也行。
你要是騎車去上班從6環到3環那你一定腦子壞掉了,一是距離遠時間長,各種紅綠燈,各種躲汽車。二是你去上班要穿正裝騎自行車真的會很彆扭難受,除非你到公司換衣服不然還不夠麻煩的。然後騎了兩三個小時出了一身臭汗去也沒法洗。

______________
石家莊市區也就二環,並不是很大再加上路都是正南正北非常適合騎自行車。
所有的道路都有自行車道,就算沒用綠化帶隔開也會用白線隔開。
任何一個大型商場,購物中心,商廈之類的都有存自行車的地方。
我從初中開始騎自行車,市區的學生只要不是住宿的每人都有一個酷炫的自行車。大家結伴而行,一到上下學的時間,場面相當壯觀。


荷蘭很多很多人騎自行車,每個地方都有自行車道, 刷成暗紅色。上班如果不太遠都會騎,從我同事(們)看來,半小時到45分鐘騎車都是好的鍛煉。周末一家幾口,大人帶著小朋友(全副武裝騎著很可愛的童車)都很多。
自行車的種類也很多。家豬有28三輛,摺疊的一輛。鍛煉的,上班的,城區的。我搞不明白區別,自己就用一個24的普通車。
我媽對這兒的人騎車特別印象深。說他們人高馬大,自行車也高大結實,騎起來飛快,看著就精神!


先別問為什麼,自行車超多,有嗎?明明電動車才是主流好嗎?

每到紅綠燈口,都能親眼目睹泄洪一樣的電動車湧向馬路另一端,而自行車大多以共享單車為主,如果運營單位把共享單車變為共享小電電,或者共享汽車,那代步為主的自行車幾乎就絕跡了。

而最後私人購買的自行車呢?大多以山地車,公路車為主,會成為一種休閑運動方式,而不是代步工具。


北京自行車和天津比真是小巫見大巫了


你說的那是過去,如今是電瓶車大國!


要學習一下哥本哈根!


那是因為中國的自行車主要是用於交通,國外的自行車主要用於健身,所以國外自行車多的地方一般都是在野外或者路上有自行車trail的地方。
國內大城市的自行車多是因為的確自行車也方便又便宜。而且國內大城市人口密度大,建築也緊湊,如果住的不是太遠當然就騎個自行車上班就好了。
如果你在美國的大多數地方,想騎自行車? 美國整個就是個大農村。很多地方人行道也沒有,自行車道也非常少。我上下班開車都要來回一小時,你騎車?


我們溫州人表示不服


嘻嘻,在重慶山城這個地方,是不適合騎自行車的,燒氣的公交車爬上坡都非常吃力。。


首爾到處是坡,騎自行車上坡的時候都得讓自行車騎你


坐標悉尼
當你推著自行車看著30度的斜坡

北京笑了


我家所在的小縣城裡,因為不禁摩,摩托車會相對便利,同等於電動車的地位。而且交通上堵車概率小,自行車的優勢體現不出來。
