Hi Cornie,

It has been 10-years since I was in Xiamen, but... the bike lanes 
were removed about 15-years ago in the old town where road space was 
a premium.  However, as you saw, they continued to build bike lanes 
along new roads  -- including the new CBD.

Nice to hear that Xiamen is doing something for pedestrians and cyclists.

Cheers,
John
