วีดีโอ

Another 2 weeks and im back in Taiwan (my 2nd home or maybe my 1st lol) ridden up there many times, traffic is a little bit of a nuisance on the weekends but weekdays it is much lighter. You must ride Taroko gorge up to Wuling, but make sure it is open and also check the times as the certain sections are only open for certain times in the day. I love the riding in taiwan, even southern taiwan, where i am has wondeful mountain roads. Cannot wait to get the miles in when im back and it will be great cooler riding weather too.

So nice! Thank you^^

man, that looks amazing. i bet i'd get the most wicked half arm tan after riding all these sunny trips.

Nice and relaxing journey bro.. Well done

come to Colombia.. best place for ciclying in the world hehe full of mountains, also there is one of the longest climbs in the world (alto de letras), Colombia has a lot of high level cyclist professionals, including winners of the tour the France (like Egan Bernal) and other big events, also Colombia is the second most biodiverse country in the world, (beauty everywhere).. u r more than welcome. Kudos...

At 6:56, on your left is a pretty famous minsu (AirBnB) with great views from their ceiling to floor windows. Usually curtained up because it will totally heat up the room you are staying in. Stayed there once for 2 nights. Owners are very friendly. You can walk the Eryanping Trail 二延平步道 which offers gorgeous views of the tea plantations and mountains on sunset. Views from the Xi Ding Parking Lot 隙頂停車場 also offers great views. Wonderful ride Johnny.

Im going back to Taiwan this January, unfortunately I can’t bring my bike with me.

You ride like a bat out of hell. Be careful.

Thank you for making this amazing video! 😃 Try to do this loop in December 😃😬

of course the coffee shop gave you pineapple cakes :) my parents love them, but I prefer savory dishes. thanks again for sharing. the last time i visited taiwan, i didn't have a chance to ride, but the next time i am definitely going to make time.

Awesome descent skill

This was one of the best ares to ride on my tour around Taiwan! I love this area and the tea :D- But it was quite hard with bags on the bike

Most of the local tea houses are run by tea farm owners; they earn the bulk of their income by selling tea commercially and just run a shop where they live as a side business. They might not even make money from it, but using it as advertisement, or even just so they have something to do during the non-labour-intensive seasons.

😎❤️🇹🇼‼️nice videos for sure.

Once on the mountains, you will find that the density of major convenience stores plummets dramatically. However, this doesnt mean you're out of luck!! as long as you have cash, you are mostly A-okay! Just look for small stores ran by local mom & pops in those mountain villages/communities. Those usually have "便利商店" signboard out front. The store might look run-down, but most carry refrigerators for drinks and perishable goods. You'll be surprised at what you can find deep in the mountains!

Beautiful. What drone do you use?

that descend is scary, overtaking cars like that. be careful.

Beautiful, going to be in Taipei in December. Can’t wait to do some cycling there.

Very interesting👍 Glad to have accidentally bumped into this channel… 👍👍👍

this makes me want to retire in Taiwan when I am 90 and do lots of riding.

Hey man! Awesome video! Which model do you use for your pannier setup?

again, thanks for making this impressive film~

really like your background music ~ making the film much more better

nice filming, thanks for taking lots of time and effort to make this tour and film~

try coffee from DaWu Mountain area in Pingtong ~ local but amazing~

Last December, I rode most of the Bikingman Taiwan route (as uploaded to RideWithGPS by "mastermind79"). The part between Sun Moon Lake and Dapu was my favorite, with some beautiful views. I had a pretty good pour-over coffee at 元富咖啡莊園 in Caoling. They were drying their green coffee beans on the ground outside, and the road was lined with coffee bushes as well. I navigated with a Garmin 1040 and ClimbPro was pretty useless as well. It even announced climbs that did not exist at all, all while I was descending.

I 100% agree with you. As an avid motorcyclist also living in taiwan, the mountain roads are full of those idiots & jackasses driving their oversized SUV in the MIDDLE of a road in a blind turn/corners. Jackasses, them lots.

Nice.. What drone do you use?

是不喜歡吃海苔嗎？ 超商飯糰包裝是不是開錯

Amazing video as always! (Lovin' the D&B drop toward the end of the video!! 💪)

Sweet!! Lovely footage and great tunes^^ Thanks for your hard work. 🤓

thanks for sharing. The next time I visit my relatives in Taiwan, definitely want to do some riding

Amazing video. Strong you are.

Great video. If you are looking for low prices in Europe, I would recommend Portugal.

So cool. I remember your Doi Suthep clime. It also was fascinating but looks like you enjoyed Taiwan more for the lifestyle. It’s probably more expensive and less street food than in Thailand but looks like easier traffic and better quality pavement. Could you compare the two?

What action camera do you used?

Loved this video bro, I need to get overseas and ride! Audio sounds great too, do you adjust wind noise or just use the dji external mic and it doesnt pickup much wind? Struggling with my camera picking up heaps of wind noise.

wow beautiful

They have Taiwan Coffee, but it's a little more bitter, still, it's kinda like... just tasting the local flavor

Many thanks for your efforts! Yup, Hammerhead elevation is not to be trusted. But, I got one 3 years ago to replace an earlier Garmin 1000 series that would frequently crash whenever it attempted to reroute. In that regard, Hammerhead is uber stable. At least the competition has forced Garmin to make improvements.

Your video reminds me of how in September 2013 I rode for 4 days in southeast Taiwan. It was heaven. At that time (not sure if this is still true) Giant stores were so numerous that you could rent a bike in one city and return it in another. So I rented a bike in Hualian, rode up to Taroko one day, then headed south, to Ruisui, Yuli, and finally Taidong. People are so friendly and the landscape is gorgeous.

Magene 606 .. hao peng you

love the taiwan videos, looking forward to visiting for the first time to do some bikepacking next year. appreciate you sharing your experience and information!

Go to police station in Taiwan to fill water instead of convenience store, reduce PET bottle waste and save some money.

TY for sharing your expetience. I might have to take my bike and do the same route 🚴

I rode from Puli to Chiayi on my Huandao last year. Wa some of the best decending I've done in a long time. great ride.

Hey, why Lampang is more popular than heading west in chiang mai? mountains are closer... and I think is more beautiful..

I don't think they grow a ton of coffee in Taiwan. At 8% (cafe in 中山區）Taiwanese coffee is part of the "single origin" coffees you can try & buy. Hit me up if you go, I also haven't tried it, just seen it there. :)

Another amazing vid! After completed round island last month, i must say, my fav city is Chiayi follow by Hualien and Yilan. The same 711 that i hangout while waiting to check in to my hotel in Chiayi. 😂. Love the turkey rice and fish soup too.

I jealous you can confidently pass the small villages without being afraid of dogs. I may climb the Ali mountain in 3-4 months. I am already worried about it. My heart starts beating already.
