Stolen Bikes Compensated

The chaotic management of bicycle parking lots is coming to an end due to new common regulations being applied by administrative commissions in Beijing's eight urban districts. The first example of the move can be seen at Andingmenwai Dajie, where consistent signage, staff IDs and new prices have been introduced.

The cost of parking an ordinary bicycle is 0.1 yuan. and for mountain bikes 0.2 yuan. In addition, a special receipt is given to bicycle owners who park there. If a bicycle is stolen due to any neglect by the parking lots? officials, owners produce their receipt and negotiate compensation, which is on a sliding scale dictated by the value of the bike.
