BOOK DISCOVERY
Biking Beijing
First published 1994
Biking Beijing is a 1994 guidebook by Diana B. Kingsbury. Its supplied subjects are guidebooks and bicycle touring, while the title identifies Beijing as the destination and cycling as the defining mode of movement. The metadata therefore places the book at the intersection of city travel and bicycle-based exploration. It offers no further information about routes, audiences, or local conditions, but clearly frames Beijing not simply as a place to visit, but as a city approached through touring by bicycle.
