参考译文：
Bicycles were once the primary mode of transportation in both urban and rural areas of China, earning the country the nickname "the Kingdom of Bicycles." Nowadays, with the increasing severity of urban traffic congestion and air pollution, cycling has once again become popular. Recently, Chinese entrepreneurs have combined mobile internet technology with traditional bicycles, inventing a business model known as shared bikes. The emergence of shared bikes has made cycling more convenient, as people can use them anytime with just a mobile phone. To encourage cycling, many cities have constructed bicycle lanes. Nowadays, an increasing number of Chinese people also enjoy cycling for fitness.
