Beijing plans to put 50,000 bicycles for rent across the city ahead of the Olympic Games to curb pollution and ease congestion. Brand new bikes will be available at 230 outlets close to subway stations, commercial districts, Olympic venues, hotels, and office buildings as well as in big communities, according to a "rent a bike" program carried out by Beijing Bicycle Rental Services.
