The cars stir up the dust. Cycling in Beijing is an entirely different experience compared to cycling in other cities such as Yangshuo or Xi'an. Here in this affluent capital, everyone thinks their fathers own the road: lorry drivers, car drivers, motorcyclists, cyclists and even pedestrians.
Beijing says she's nearly ready for the Olympic Games but it's hard to see it from here. The dust of construction work covers the road so that it becomes a mere dust trail. It covers cars parked nearby till they actually appear brown. Flashes of bright white light can be seen in the distance from the bird's nest where workers weld the entire mess of metal together. In less than a year's time, it's hard to imagine it as the green park it claims itself to be.
