　　 Yang Yongfang used to take the bus to work. But, these days, when she takes a look at the bus, all she sees is "a big box full of people, all breathing in there. It seems very unsafe."
　　 And that means SARS. So Yang got out her bicycle and dusted it off. Other Chinese who, until recently, appeared to be moving away from the old mode of transportation, seem to be back riding as well.
　　 Of course, there’ s no shortage of bikes. There were plenty long before SARS showed up. But in recent years, private cars have been growing in large numbers, crowding bicycles off the streets in some of the biggest cities. Now SARS has brought the bicycle traffic back. Crowded trains and buses look less attractive(吸引人的).
　　 In Shanghai 120,000 more bicycles were registered(登记) in April, well above last year’s monthly average of 50,000.
　　 People’s Daily recently reported that "bicycle" had suddenly become the third most frequently searched term on the nation’s largest Web search engine.
　　 However, if bike sales Continue upward, it could become a nightmare (噩梦) for traffic planners, who had to contend with the often deadly clash between bikes and motorized vehicles. Shanghai officially sees nearly one traffic - related bicycle death a day, a figure that many people here say is probably an understatement. (少报).
