Bicycles and a burgeoning cycling culture has been the cure to Taipei’s transportation headache—limited available land, dense population, an army of motor vehicles that are commonly seen in many vibrant, organic prominent Asian metropolises. To rise up to the challenge, citizens and the city administration have been improving its public transportation systems and minimizing the use of private vehicles. The city has upgraded its urbanscapes and encouraged wider use of greener means of transport. Among various initiatives, an emphasis on cycling—more of a lifestyle nowadays—has tremendously helped the Taipei evolve for the better in recent years.
