Dearie was interviewed briefly on a Taiwanese tv news channel about cycling infrastructure during his visit there: http://ap.ntdtv.com/b5/20110627/video/66193.html
Just wondering if you know enough Chinese..
He's gotten some interesting responses to the blog article he wrote about his experiences.
Sorry, my Chinese is not very good, especially when people are talking fast like in the video. I can only pick out a few words here and there. Like the word for "bicycle," and maybe "through." About halfway through I did catch a mention of Taipei and then Hsin ju, which I may be spelling wrong. Hsin ju is a suburb or neighborhood north of the city if I remember. I think a lot of expats live there.
Guessing from the images they show at that moment, perhaps there is a trail or route from Taipei to Hsin ju?
Thanks for trying. It's Hsinchu.
Blog post now has more commentary: http://thirdwavecyclingblog.wordpres...ty-and-taipei/
Some of it ..actually is quite debatable, wouldn't you say?? :)
and in this totally different blog of an ex-pat guy who lives in Taiwan somewhere: http://taiwanincycles.blogspot.com/2....html#comments
Andrew actually has some interesting observations about cycling, politics, etc. for that country.
But all the responses so far, except for the excerpt from an American ex-Taiwanese that I copied for everyone to read, are non-Asian ex-pats.
And none are actively involved in cycling advocacy groups in Taiwan. They are simply regular cyclists.
