In China, they have a dedicated lane for parking bikes and motorcycles, as well as riding. The yellow bikes are 2USD/mo. By making bikes as cheap and convenient as possible, at the expense of what could be an entire carlane, they eliminate the demand for that car lane. There is a 2.50 fine if you park outside of the parking area, but youre never more than 10 feet from a parking zone.

That sounds far better than the American solution of leaving them in the sidewalk

You couldnt do that, youd block all the bikes, cars, and buses using that sidewalk.
