Although on a normal working day Beijing suffers traffic jams, many people still prefer the good old bicycle.

Interesting things to eat could also be found in the streets.

This lot, presumably, are rushing off for lunch though led by the Romanian.

And that wouldn't be a Kenyan off for a small helping too?
