[Explanation] The autumn is high and the air is refreshing, and the ancient city of Xi'an has ushered in the peak of outdoor sports.
There are many young people in the local area who choose to cycle through the streets of the city with three or five friends after get off work or on weekends.
There is no clear destination for this kind of riding, or go to take pictures in front of an unpopular scenic spot, or go to a certain Internet celebrity snack bar to "check in", and the distance of a single ride varies from several kilometers to dozens of kilometers.
During the holiday, some Xi'an cyclists came to a tea shop under the city wall to drink tea and exchange their cycling experience.
The organizer of the event, Wang Jiaxiang, said that young people are now under a lot of work pressure. The main purpose of organizing such bicycle exchange activities is to let everyone find a "relaxation" through simple riding, so as to experience a "lightweight" life.

It's just that we are different from this kind of ordinary cycling, cycling competitions, or some traditional competitions, or the way everyone commutes to work.
Yes, we hope that there will be an environment with social attributes, and then we will recruit more people from it, and then let everyone participate in this kind of movement, and then participate in this activity, and only then can we have a base for participation. To develop more branches, can make this culture better.
[Explanation] Small and exquisite folding cars, tough retro cars, road cars with unique accessories... Many "knights" used their cars to turn the scene into an alternative "auto show", attracting passers-by to stop frequently.
As a "senior" bicycle enthusiast, Bai Liang is familiar with the types and riding characteristics of vehicles.
In his spare time, he always rides his bike around the city, exploring new cycling routes.

Cycling itself is an attitude and a better choice.
Then one is that the car is more interesting and special, and you can assemble it with some personality.
The other one is close to the city wall, so I often go to Shuncheng Lane, various size (city) gates, some small shops, and friends to come and go.
[Explanation] Bai Liang told reporters that more and more bicycle lanes have been opened in Xi'an, which has played a positive role in the development of bicycle sports and the industry.
But at the same time, some road sections will also appear illegally parked and occupy the road, and the signs are unclear. I hope the relevant departments can manage this and gradually improve the urban riding environment.
For some urban white-collar workers, cycling seems to be a "key" to open the "door" of urban slow life.
There is no congestion anxiety when commuting to and from get off work, and no longer worry about grabbing a parking space, you can calm down and find the little fun in life.

First of all, you can feel the osmanthus flowers in autumn when you ride a bicycle. Then, because there are many famous historical sites in Xi'an, we usually can't see them by bus or on foot, but bicycles can be used. For example, if you drive inside the city wall, it will be more inconvenient. , but it will be very friendly to ride.
[Explanation] The sun sets in the west, and the party ends happily.
Perhaps in the eyes of these "knights", as long as they step on the car and pedal with both feet, the road ahead will be in their hands.
