The nighttime biking craze began with four college friends in Zhengzhou who made the 40-mile journey to enjoy Kaifeng's specialty soup dumplings, igniting widespread enthusiasm.
Initially praised as a symbol of youthful energy, the viral biking phenomenon attracted tens of thousands of students, prompting safety concerns and subsequent crackdowns by local authorities.
Held under streetlamps, riders, some waving Chinese flags and singing the national anthem, created an atmosphere of collective joy and shared experiences that resonated across social media.
Local authorities expressed concern over the growing crowds, emphasizing the need for safety and traffic management in response to the spontaneous nighttime gatherings of students on bikes.
