Always a room for you in Calgary - bike storage included!
8 months agoI really liked our trip to Taiwan! The people are extremely friendly and helpful and language didn’t seem to be much of an issue. And the variety of scenery was amazing.
8 months agoThanks! I enjoyed your journal. And several others have been good resources too. I can’t wait to get there. I’m less excited about a very long travel day.
8 months agoShould be a great adventure - I look forward to following along.
8 months agoNo need to be anxious about food, language or anything else in Taiwan. It’s a wonderful country for cycle touring.
My son and I used folding bikes to do a lap around Taiwan (with some help from trains and a bus) a few years ago.
The east coast was our favourite area, but even Taipeh was bicycle friendly.
You’ll have a wonderful time.

Good. Just wanted to be sure you were aware of it. It sound easier with a bike now. A decade ago bikes needed to be bagged: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/taiwan2014/taroko-gorge/#3274_2130519_KvhRA1_image
8 months agoYes, I’m planning to take the train north from Hualien for about 100 km. It’s still not recommended to bike that stretch. The railway website seems pretty good - it clearly shows which train stations and trains allow bikes.
8 months agoExciting! Good luck with the weather on the east side. Are you going to take the train for the stretch of Highway 9 north of Hualien between Luodong and Xincheng? Unless something has changed, I wouldn’t want to bike through the series of tunnels on that part of the coast.
