However, Beijing comes completely with its own dangers. The rules of the road are flexible(灵活的). Bikes, cars and pedestrians(行人)all float up and down lanes in both directions.
Compared with London’s terrible cycle paths, in Beijing, every road has a huge, wide cycle lane. But cars, cabs and motorbikes see no reason why they shouldn’t use these as a shortcut, and why they shouldn’t beep(鸣笛)at you to get out of their way when they do.
Despite the beeping, though, Beijing traffic is more good-natured. In London, the road is an active war zone. People shout, swear(咒骂)and beat on each other’s windows.
Beijing drivers never get actively angry. In fact, often they even don’t see cyclists. Obviously that means it’s up to the cyclist to see them.
Mandy is a true Beijing bike. She is rusty(生锈的), she makes loud noises every time you push her pedals(踏板)and I have had to make several emergency repair stops for her.
But cycling around Beijing on a sunny day is a joy. It is just me, Mandy and the city.
6. What does the author want to do?
A. To tell us what makes the author love cycling.
B. To compare cycling in Beijing with that in London.
C. To introduce the differences between Mabel and Mandy.
D. To explain why Beijing is made for cycling.
