Comments for David on Formosa http://blog.taiwan-guide.org commentary on all things Taiwanese -- Taipei, Taiwan Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:14:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 Comment on Paris and Taipei cycling experience by ssf-in-SSF http://blog.taiwan-guide.org/2010/03/cycling-documentary-pts/comment-page-1/#comment-85313 ssf-in-SSF Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:14:50 +0000 http://blog.taiwan-guide.org/?p=6117#comment-85313 Our office complex has 2000 employees, parking space for about 1500 cars, and a bike rake for 10 bicycles. We have 3 bikes every day and this is the greenest city where most people hug trees and worship Al Gore. My commute is 45 miles crossing a 7 mile bridge with no shoulder, so I drive 2 miles to bus stop and take bus. There was one guy cycling to bus stop, the drive had to take time to load the bike, and all passengers gave that look which eventually made him give up and join the rank of driving. It takes both good infrastructure and people’s understanding/tolerance to make cycling more acceptable as a mean of transportation and a great form of exercise, on the road, not just on bike paths.

Once it expands to Gongguan area it will be more useful and I might try it. MartHo, I've posted it on the Bike Smiling blog now. Jens, I must admit I have never used the U-bike system in Taipei.

As a native of Taipei who has since transplanted in the US nearly 20 years ago (but of course visit from time to time), the images, languages, culture and traditions certainly, as David put it, "evoke a [certain] nostalgia." While the tempo was fairly well executed, I have to say that the plot was still a bit more predictable for my taste. By the way, I "procured" a copy through bittorrent. Nice synopsis on Monga.
