The price of shared bicycles in some cities has increased fourfold in eight years

Recently, some shared bicycle brands have caused heated discussions in Chengdu, Guangzhou, Wuhan and other places for their price adjustment. Specifically, some brands have adjusted the starting price on weekdays from "1.5 yuan for the first 15 minutes" to "1.5 yuan for the first 10 minutes". After 10 minutes, 1 yuan is charged for every 15 minutes. This adjustment has increased the cost of riding for one hour from 4.5 yuan to 5.5 yuan, an increase of 22.22%.

Reporters from the Daily Economic News interviewed consumers in Guangzhou and Wuhan respectively and found that Qingju and Hello have both raised their prices to 1.5 yuan for the first 10 minutes in Wuhan, while only Hello raised its price to 1.5 yuan for the first 10 minutes in Guangzhou. Meituan did not follow this round of price increases, but instead lowered its prices to 1.5 yuan for the first 20 minutes in Guangzhou.

After the "Rainbow War" of shared bicycles, the price has been rising since it entered a stable development stage. In September 2016, when Mobike and ofo entered the market, the initial price of shared bicycles was 0.5 yuan per half hour. Now, judging from the market average, charging around 5 yuan per hour has become a common phenomenon. This also means that in 8 years, the price has increased fourfold.

Fan Huiliang, secretary general of the Green and Smart Transportation Branch of the China Communications Construction Association, told the Daily Economic News reporter that the price increase of more than four times in eight years is actually the shift of shared bicycle platforms from traffic demand to survival demand, and it may also be related to the current popular cycling culture. In the future, shared bicycles may still increase slightly, or they may be squeezed by various new types of folding bicycles from bicycle manufacturers, and prices may also drop.

Olympics brings popularity to BMX

According to CCTV Finance, at the Paris Olympics, a Chinese freestyle BMX athlete, who made her debut on the Olympic stage, won the championship. As this emerging sport with rich ornamental and fashionable elements entered the Olympics, more and more young people have developed a strong interest in BMX.

The manager of a BMX club in Shenzhen said that the enrollment situation is very good now, because it has only been opened for half a year, and it has already enrolled 150 students. There are at least 6 to 10 classes a day. With the increase in the number of applicants, the club manager is currently installing a new track in the cycling park, and the number of classrooms has increased from three to five.

Under the influence of the Olympics, many children have turned their attention from balancing cars and bicycles to BMX. The manager of a BMX club with six years of experience said that the number of applicants is growing steadily every year. (36kr)

Bank of England cuts interest rates by 25 basis points

On August 1, local time, the Bank of England, the central bank of the United Kingdom, announced a 25 basis point interest rate cut, lowering the benchmark interest rate to 5%. This decision was in line with market expectations.

Since August 2023, the Bank of England has maintained interest rates at a historic high of 5.25%. On an annualized basis, the UK inflation rate has reached the central bank's 2% target in May and June. It is generally believed that it is appropriate for the Bank of England to cut interest rates at this interest rate meeting. Analysts from several financial institutions pointed out that the UK job market has shown obvious signs of cooling, with wage growth slowing and unemployment rising. It is expected that the momentum of the UK's economic recovery will weaken in the coming months. Cutting interest rates at this time will help ease the pressure of tightening financial conditions and boost economic vitality. (CCTV reporter Gao Yan)
