Wangqingtuo - a town in Tianjin known as a big bicycle manufacturing hub in China - looks like a graveyard for abandoned shared bicycles. A few years ago, Wangqingtuo's bike factories benefitted from the rapid rise of several bike-sharing startups. However, these factories are now falling with them.
