Yu Xin, co-founder of ofo, said on the China Internet Conference on July 12 that in the days before bike-sharing startup ofo, it took almost the same time to travel three kilometers and 20 kilometers in urban cities.

"Shared bikes have changed the way people travel, and we hope lots of young people will fall in love with cycling and say "let's ofo" when they need to go to short-distance destinations," Yu said.
