It is incredible to watch urban cycling culture spread throughout the globe, with People’s Bike reporting on an alleycat in Guangzhou last weekend, a city in the south of China with relatively few foreigners even if a few guys of European descent won this particular race. The urban land area of Guangzhou is estimated to have 9.5 million people residing in it, for comparison Los Angeles has a mere 4 million, this is not a sleepy town. It looks like there is a vibrant bike scene there from the race report, with a few dozen racers making up teams of three for the usual checkpoint style race across town and back. Lots of color matched fixed gears and riders that seem to know how to ride them, if the young people in China catch on big to fixed gear cycling they may be soon driving the market.
