"you can still get around the city by bicycle if you want"

Except:

- bicycles can't cross the river via the tunnels, so you have to wait for a ferry to get to/from puxi/pudong (I remember this adding almost one hour to my journey one night, as the first couple of ferry terminals I visited had closed for the day, and the third had a long wait until the next ferry).

- some of the streets around the major shopping areas prohibit cyclists, even though they are open to cars and pedestrians
