Shared bikes will be banned from military areas in Beijing starting Thursday, a military officer said Wednesday.
本周四起,北京的军事区将禁止共享单车通行。
The off-limits zones include restricted military areas and hospitals,
residential1 areas, and sanitariums administrated by the military in Beijing.
"Bike sharing has brought new problems to the management of military areas, such as illegal parking and entering and exiting without approval," said the officer with the training management department of the Central Military Commission.
"The army's image would be
tainted2 once
misuse3 like bike refitting or damage is found in military areas," the officer said.
Shared bikes are being moved away from military zones, and
inspections4 will be carried out by the department.
