While, the sharing bike with low carbon travel as development concept now is increasingly exposed the environmental problems. Just imagine what kind of trouble the cities need to face if the sharing bikes were abandoned as the solid waste in dozens of cities. The production chain, development chain and benefit chain of sharing bike now are being tested for environmental protection.
This September 7th, Hangzhou government announced the first suspension of sharing bike putting in the market in China. In the following two months, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Fuzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Ningbo, Chengdu and other cities had announced the suspension of sharing bike putting in the market.
