China is a beautiful country with a fascinating culture and wonderful people. The best way to experience it all is by bicycle. This book is based on a bicycle tour that the author completed in the late spring of 2014. Rather than separate the notes on Chinese culture and society from the perspectives and events of the actual bike tour, the cultural and societal notes are naturally interspersed within the story of the actual bike tour, as they arise. The bicycle tour followed an eastern route, avoiding the heavily polluted coal areas. The book includes over 250 photographs and a wealth of practical information that should be useful for any Westerner planning to visit China, as well as for anyone planning a bicycle tour in any foreign country. It is also intended for readers who are simply looking to learn more about Chinese culture and society, from a Westerner's perspective.

The Sky is My Ceiling: Biking China's Border by Boulder author, Yu Juanjuan is a richly illustrated adventure story of one woman's courage, determination and daring to bike the border of China. From September 1987 through July 1989, Yu Juanjuan bicycled around the border of China, and in the process changed Chinese women's history. Starting from Beijing with four team members, she experienced the loss of three, who dropped out early, leaving her with only one team member, Wang. For the majority of the 22 month trip, she faced most of the diverse challenges - the demanding terrain, the reaction from natives of cities and villages she visited, the wildly fluctuating weather, the need for funding, and those arising from the fact that she was a young woman - alone. Since then, nobody has been able to duplicate her feat, man or woman. The strength of this remarkable woman's story - a product of the intersection of Communist and modern China - results in a compelling richly illustrated book documenting the enormity of her success.

Electric bikes (e-bikes) provide low-cost, convenient, and relatively energy-efficient transportation to an estimated 40 million–50 million people in the People's Republic of China (PRC), quickly becoming one of the dominant travel modes in the country. As e-bike use grows, concerns are rising about lead pollution from their batteries and emissions from their use of grid electricity, primarily generated by coal power plants. This report analyzes the environmental performance of e-bikes relative to other competing modes, their market potential, and the viability of alternative battery technologies. It also frames the role of e-bikes in the PRC's transportation system and recommends policy for decision makers in the PRC's central and municipal governments.

"In the middle of the night I crawled out of my tent into a silvery vastness truly unchanged since Genghis Khan and his hordes loped west more than half a millennium ago. There was no glow of city lights on the horizon, no ranger station at the edge of the next valley, no quaint general store, no paved road. There was nothing but space, unbounded and untamed. A brilliant moon lit the blackness crystal clear. Moonshadows of every blade of grass danced silently in the wildness. It was the emptiest, quietest place I had ever been. I threw my arms out wide and spun slowly around and around in the dazzling clarity of the night, the stars blurring into ribbons of light above me." Mongolia. It was Erika Warmbrunn's dream. To escape deep into parts of Asia inaccessible to tours and guidebooks, to abandon herself to the risks of the unknown. And so, with only a bicycle named Greene for a traveling companion, she set off on an eight month, 8,000 kilometer trek that stretched across the steppes of this ancient land, on through China, and down the length of Vietnam. Freed by Greene's two wheels from the tyranny of discrete points on a map, she found that the true merit of travel was not in the simple seeing, but in flowing with the unexpected adventure or invitation, in savoring the moments in between -- the daily challenges of new words and customs, the tiny triumphs of learning a new way of life, the daunting thrill of never knowing what the next day would bring. Wanting to ride a Mongolian horse and finding herself in the saddle for four hours, herding fifty head of cattle. Asking for a hotel in a Chinese village and being taken into a family's home to share their grandmother's bed for the night. Pedaling into the Vietnamese highlands and being stopped along the muddy road by a father asking that she join his two-year-old son's birthday party. Accepting a Mongolian village's invitation to stop pedaling and stay for a while, to live with them and teach them English. In the doing and the telling, Where the Pavement Ends is a much richer experience than any line on a map can show. Where the Pavement Ends is the recipient of the "Barbara Savage Miles From Nowhere Memorial Award." You can find out more about this author at her website: www.wherethepavementends.com
