1.What does the title “ ‘White Bikes’ on the Road” mean
“White bikes” on the road refers to “white bikes” being used to ride around the streets of a city. Apart from the literal meaning, the title can also mean that the effort to implement/carry out “White bikes” projects takes time and it’s still on the way. There’re still aspects that need to be improved.

2.What does the writer mean by saying “Where will bike-sharing go in China You decide.”
Young people like the students will determine how successful bike-sharing is in the future by deciding whether or not and how they want to use it. It can also mean that whether or not bike-sharing can exist successfully depends on each individual. Everyone has to take the responsibility to take care of bike-sharing so that it can last longer and help people better.
