[Explanation] After a torrential rain in the early morning, Tang Biao and Bai Song, the shared bicycle operation and maintenance personnel, began a new day of "car search". Because they work outdoors for a long time, they are particularly sensitive to weather conditions. The temperature that drops after the summer rain provides them with a rare and comfortable working environment.
On August 18, a reporter from China News Agency came to a shared bicycle spot outside the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing to record the work process of shared bicycle operation and maintenance personnel with a camera.
Shared bicycle operation and maintenance personnel are also known as "bicycle hunters". Their work includes pushing disorderly parked bicycles to designated parking areas, repairing faulty vehicles on the street, and being responsible for searching for lost bicycles in the streets and even the wilderness. Linked bicycles.

One is the natural loss of connection, similar to the kind of car we just looked for. If it is left here for a long time, there are trees in the shade, the sun is not available, and no one rides it, it will definitely be left for a year or a half. Lost contact. The other is man-made destruction. It may be in a densely populated area or near a construction site. He directly destroyed the smart lock. We have received feedback and need to deal with it as soon as possible.

In relatively remote and deserted places, like watersides, including large wasteland in the true sense, there is nothing. These vandalism vehicles will appear in various high-speed green belts.
[Explanation] Tang Biao has been engaged in the operation and maintenance of shared bicycles for nearly two years. In the past, he would bring a variety of maintenance tools every morning, ride an electric bike to the area in charge, or repair faulty cars or search for missing cars. Although every day is a repetitive work scene, Tang Biao has found a sense of accomplishment in it.

(Initially) I came to find it with a bit of fresh energy, and in the end, after doing so for so long, it may be that I really love this industry and provide users with good cars by finding cars, because we need to repair this car in addition to finding more. The user feels that the experience is particularly good during the ride, because sometimes we are at the subway station and the chain just falls off. The user was in a hurry without a tool to use it. More than a dozen people swept the car back and forth and couldn’t ride it. At that time, I felt a sense of accomplishment after finishing the repair. There is also (looking for) that kind of missing car. I couldn't find it several times. It took an hour to find this time. At that time, the sense of honor was particularly strong.
[Explanation] After riding for half an hour, Bai Song found a four-day-lost bicycle among the weeds beside a river. After traversing the haystack to retrieve the bicycle, Bai Song's leg showed a few weed cut wounds.

The environment is in those great wastelands, especially like summer. When the grass is relatively lush, our spot is in the chaotic grass. Even if the car is not inside, we will reach this position, so we will wear the grass. Kind of barbs or something, it will draw various wounds on the legs, but I am used to it.
[Explanation] Nowadays, while the shared bicycle is convenient for people's transportation, it also has a series of social problems due to its random parking and random destruction. As a shared bicycle operation and maintenance personnel, Tang Biao also called on the public to take more care of the vehicles and create a good order in the use of vehicles.

(Shared bicycle) provides a convenient condition for everyone, but this requires everyone to care for it and maintain it. When parking, standard parking will not only reduce one of our company's operating costs, but also maintain (public) order. The other one, since it is "shared", don't ride it as your own bicycle.
[Explanation] At lunch, Tang Biao and Bai Song finished their morning work and prepared to return for dinner. On the way, I saw several bicycles leaning on the side of the road, and they both got out of the car and put the bicycles in the parking area. Tang Biao said that after working for many years, it has become a subconscious action to want to arrange the bicycles neatly.
