Taiwan is a mountainous and alpine island. Of its 258 peaks, there are many that stand at more than 3,000m, the height which officially, if somewhat arbitrarily, constitutes high altitude. It is home, too, to the factories that manufacture many of the world’s top bicycle frames and Taiwan has recently witnessed a huge surge in enthusiasm for the sport of road riding. Local authorities have also been bitten by the cycling craze, creating thousands of kilometres of paved, well-lit and interconnected trails that now encircle the country. Riding on the island offers swift transitions, from concrete wastelands to mountains of soaring beauty. Yet perhaps best of all, the country remains an unknown cycling paradise to many outside of Asia.
