I live in Beijing and I spend 20 mins riding share bike to work every day. I don't drive because I don't find it useful. I have a driving license but almost never used it, there are many, many people also having a license without driving cars. Almost colleagues owning cars don't drive on workdays because the metro is good (crowed by less crowded than driving and parking). It's not just one city like NYC, at least all moderate to major cities in China are friendly if you don't have a car. I've been to SF and the silicon valley, and I'm pretty annoyed I almost cannot go anywhere without driving. The difference might be related to how do people build the city, in order to make one way to suck less than another. In Beijing, it seems to be not driving suck less than driving.
