Score one for cyclists in China:

“Another regulation effective on July 1 will levy a new “car and ship” tax policy in China, which will double the tax rate on the usage of automobiles and ships. China, which had 148 million automobiles by the end of March, has been plagued by increasing pollution from exhaust emissions. Taxes on bicycles have been scrapped, an effort by the government to lessen the financial burden on China’s hundreds of millions of bicyclists, according to the new regulation.”
