Foreigner Heroically Blocks Bike Path from Cars
Nov 17, 2014 By eChinacities.com

A foreigner – of the unspecified kind –took it upon himself to stop a driver from driving into a bike lane in Beijing.

Beijing’s Yaojiayuan was subject to an unusual incident as the foreigner put his bike across the bike path, blocking it off from a car. The car honked but the foreigner did not budge. Bicycle lanes in the city are often full of cars trying to avoid traffic jams, making it dangerous for cyclists.

His actions have gone viral on the Chinese web received approval from many Chinese netizens.

Good on him. Obviously had a bad China day and it's resulted in this act of selfless vigilantism. Go ahead and save the world from itself. I'll be watching TV and drinking beer.

But be careful. This is the country where they love to run people over. And you will be left on the street with no one bothering to help you.

This is a great example of poor urban planning which only increases the crazy amount of noise pollution. I'm more surprised in my travels to see few parking structures for cars but the sidewalk and bus lanes are good alternatives. haha

When I wait for the light to change before I cross, people usually look back at me and laugh. Like I'm the idiot for not taking my life into my hands. Kudos to this guy though.
