nine million bicycles - at last.....

Well, I've finally heard that Katie Melua song, "Nine Million Bicycles". If I had a quid for every time someone asked me either while I was there or when I came back, "so are there really 9 million bicycles in beijing then?" What was I supposed to answer, "no there's only 8,995,451 actually, I counted them myself". Grr.......
