Bicycles and motorcycles are seriously encouraged and often have their own lane. Quite unlike the few bicycle lanes that we see in Los Angeles, however, here the cyclists and motor scooters have a separate lane in the sidewalk.
To cross the road below (outside my flat) you first have to avoid the kamikaze cyclists, then deal with the cars.
By the way, if you want a bigger view of any photo on this site, click on it.
To make matters worse, cyclists have priority over pedestrians (you have to get out of their way) and also over motorists, who must yield to bikes.As a result, cyclists tend to be quite fearless here. Note the cyclist above plowing through the red light while the meek motorists cower at the lights.
As you can see, bicycles rule over here.
