自行车在中国是很热门的。有关统计资料表明,截止到去年,全国自行车的社会保有量已达3.3亿辆。11亿国民平均不到4人就有一辆自行车,行家们认为这个数字相当可观。疲软的市场证实了这个观点。去年,全国商业购进自行车2134.5万辆,较1988年下降了21.4%;而销售下降更多,达23.5%;与此同时,商业库存较上年增长了2.1%。人们以前需凭票购买的“凤凰”、“永久”等名牌产品,如今也加入了积压行列。中国自行车的产和销,是否已面临“山重水复疑无路”的境地? Bicycles are very popular in China. Relevant statistics show that as of last year, the nation’s bicycle population has reached 330 million. Of the 1.1 billion people on average, there is one bicycle for less than four people. Connoisseurs believe that this figure is considerable. The weak market confirms this view. Last year, the country purchased 21,345,500 bicycles, a 21.4% decrease from 1988, while sales fell more, reaching 23.5%. At the same time, commercial inventory increased by 2.1% from the previous year. The famous brand products such as “Phoenix” and “Permanent” that people used to purchase through tickets have now joined the backlog. Has the production and sales of bicycles in China been faced with a situation where the mountain is in danger of relapse?
