29, a Mortgage and a Baby on the Way | My E-Bike Ride to Work in China 🇨🇳

Every weekday morning, I join a few hundred strangers on e-bikes. This is my ride to work, from my front door to the office towers, shown in real time. I'm Waylon, 29, and I live in China. I pay a mortgage, and in February I'm going to be a dad. On the way: a quilt on my e-bike, China's 380 million e-bikes, one red light I'm not proud of, a shortcut through a park, and a question I keep asking at every crossing: what kind of lives are all of us riding toward? ⏱ Chapters 0:00 Every morning, one red light 0:21 8:22 a.m., time to go 0:57 Water for the cat 1:39 Out the door 2:28 My e-bike wears a quilt 3:20 Out of the garage 5:46 A lane just for bikes 7:41 China's e-bike army 9:08 Ordinary isn't small 12:44 Along the elevated road 14:54 If only I could teleport 17:06 How to ride in a crowd 19:36 The big interchange 21:14 My shortcut through the park 22:14 The delivery rider and the red light 26:30 Six wallets: buying a home in China 27:36 Senior scooters 30:36 The last red light 33:24 The cat gets the house 34:20 Office towers, I'm here 💬 How do you get to work, and how long does it take you?
