Hi Matt. Thank you for the nice Taiwan cycling post. I’m a Taiwanese who cycled in the USA (Seattle) for 7 years and now lives in Taiwan. I’ve compiled a Taiwan Bike Routes Map with many adventure type routes that link to detailed trip photos/videos. Hopefully this would be useful to share with foreigners who want to cycle in Taiwan.

Man, re-reading this interview and realizing that that picture of me is from one of my earliest trips down the coast. Since then I’ve circled the island twice by bike, three times if you count hanging out of the window of a support van taking pictures during the ultra maniacal 48-hour round the island challenge. (The team I was working with dropped me off at Hualien station somewhere around hour 36. Betel nut, caffeine, and sleep deprivation are not always a sports journalist’s best friend.)

Anyway Matt, come on back to Taiwan this autumn. We’ll ride the roads like kings, feasting like hogs afterward on seafood and the word’s finest single malt whiskey.
