Since the lunar spring festivel this year,I registered the app of Mobike,a combined word of mobile and bike.As the name indicates, it's some kind of bike that connected with Internet and smart phones.it's very popular in china now.

It spreads so fast that shocked me and let me have to notice of it .Only in less than three months,they come out every corner of my life.

The most attractive advantage is its convenience.you can ride it around to everywhere whenever you want ,and when you stop ,just lock it and park it by the roadside. It charges according to the use time.commonly Rmb 0.5 half an hour. Recently,It's often No Charge,i guess the reason may be the competition between the company operator. Whatever it's happy to free riding the bikes and on some unusual days, such as 5.20 or some festival,if you ride these bicycles perhaps you will get some rewards,including cash gifts or coupons.

Last week,when I go out for lunch, I met some foreigners around the subway station,one of them was surprised by the little yellow bike(ofo),someone explain to him:it's very popular in china.And show him the smart lock under the seat.They stood around the bike and chatted happily.

In April,my younger brother came to shanghai and we three rided the mobile bikes in the afternoon having a short journey.The wind blowed my faces softly, even though it's a little hot but still made us feel very comfortable.

Now,the most widespread ones are Mobike and OfO. They both have investors behind,ofo has Alibaba,mobike has Tecent. it's an common and interesting phenomenon that once an new internet company was rising,BAT will invest an enormous capital to buy the management control.It's popularly called 'layout ecosystem'.Jack Ma mentioned it firstly.

Mobike and OfO has some obvious difference in using operation.

Firstly,from my opinion,i think mobike is more beautiful than ofo,the color ,the whole design style and the quality.so in the begining,when you registered, mobike charged Rmb 299,ofo charged Rmb 99.it means they two production cost has gap,one is more expensive.

So I prefer to register the Mobike.

since the Alipay take no charge if your credit score is more than 650,many people ride the ofo now.

Mobikes'  tyres(轮胎) are made of synthetic material,something like plastic,and there is one piece of solar panel to provide the power itself. the smart locks can locate itself ,something like GPS. so once the bike put into operation,unless it's broken for some unusual reason,there is no need to fix and maintain it. If does, you can find them very easliy.

ofo is different,its' tyres are same as traditional, full of air .so when the  weather is hot ,the tyres could be easy to be burst.The lock just be lock ,it cann't  help to locate. The loss and maintenance must be a hard thing for the company operators.

    Now,there are more than millions of bikes all over of china,how to admin them coule be an challenge thing.they are scattered in different streets over different cities, and man-made losses is inevitable. In china,it coule be a serious social problem.

Malicious damage often posted on the news and selfish,Illegal occupation could be seen by your side. I have experience that the bikes was dirty and thrown fallen.one pedal was missing,or the seat was gone.and it's very common that the solar panel was covered by poster papers, it destroys the transform of solar power.

I don't want to post  pictures like those here,you can imagine how bad it is.

In the other hand,sharing bikes bring some troubles,for example,it affects the urban policing,too much bikes result more crowded in some places.people have to park it  in wrong places because there is no area left.

Sharing bikes has good and bad,it spreads in so high speed shows that people do really need it,because our cities are so wide-area and there are too much cars,we need this short-distince vehicle,it helps save the time of go to work and back to work,encourage us to go out for hiking,enjoy the nature. The negative effects it brings could be corrected by time, this needs the government take some measures and give some support of it. The most importantly,all of us should take care of the communal facilities.

Anyway,sharing  bikes become so popular in china now. It's true that the bikes bring convenience and helpful to guide people live a low-carbon lifestyle.          Internet changes life,this is fact.

PS: there is a sad thing that because I often work overtime, when I get off the metro, there's no bikes left. people ride them away all.
