Gotta love it; nobody but the Dutch would even dream of going drinking on a bike.

Beijing has about 15 million people and I'd guess about 25 million bikes that are used for any imaginable purpose. Chongqing has two or three bikes tops....why? Beijing is flat and Chongqing so hilly it makes San Fransisco look like a billiard table. What Chongqing has is porters....zillions of guys with a heavy stick and a couple of pieces of rope that they sling over their shoulder to carry any and everything. Shanghai is too uppity for a bike, everyone there rides little scooters.
