Taipei Treadling

December 29, 2019

An easy day

With bikes unpacked and assembled post-flight without any problems, we pedalled out of our grand hotel into light rain and in the general direction of the river, but with no real idea of where we were heading. Despite our lack of a sense of direction, within a few minutes were rolling along a delightful, easy, traffic/free riverside cycle path. The day unfolded from there.

A pleasant introduction to Taipei cycle touring. One of the riverside paths.

A tower block with a twist. Presumably they meant to build it like this.

One Zero One, one of world’s tallest buildings.

Joe several hours into his first ever cycle tour. Thank goodness he’s still smiling.

Even right in the CBD, there is excellent cycling infrastructure

This projection saves a trip to the tower lookout.

An usual pedestrian light pole. Street art version.
