The noodle taxi and taxi taxi discourse in China is far more cursed than here due to how totally impoverished drivers are in China.

I was impressed by how many of the young people I spoke with in a China had come to grips with the dire state of delivery drivers with a shrug of the shoulders. Reminded me of home

Are most food deliveries in China done in cars or on bicycles?

Motorized bicycles.

ya as in NYC the economics of doing bike deliveries (or ebike deliveries) in a very dense area seem a lot friendlier than doing it in cars, for a variety of reasons

And I know this sounds like just a motorcycle, but they’re not really.

I've seen one, like a bike with a two stroke duct taped on?

In the US, that's called a DUIcycle. An invaluable mobility tool for people who've had their car impounded.
