Outside the Kenya International Convention Center, more than 200 volunteers wear neatly and ride a shared bicycle from China and completed a 3.5-km ride on the streets of Nairobi. Participants are the first time to experience China's sharing bike, excitement filled without words to express. Many people carefully asked about the use of sharing bicycles and marvel at the pace of development of the shared economy in China. The "pollution-defeating" cycling event was jointly organized by UNEP and Chinese companies.
