Besides, compared to riding a bicycle in China one would think THAT Cummins smoke is as fresh as a newly blooming tulip..
Not true. There are indeed areas where the air is really bad - Beijing, Guangzhou etc...
But I did 20km in 39:10 last night on my mountain bike, riding here in Haikou. The air is comparable to the USA. It's the most densely populated area on the island. Everywhere else the air is even better.
As for the whole of this thread - All I have to say is "Man, 1st world problems." I'll have to grab some video some time of the electric scooter traffic here. Mind-blowing. Yet, life manages to somehow go on in spite of the utter chaos...
