Cycling with Pedal Taiwan over the last 2 weeks was an unforgettable cycling experience. The event included cycling along the east side of the island, the southern most point being... read more Eulanbi, up to Keelung and then finishing in Taipai. Somewhere in this journey we managed to include the KOM challenge, a ride from sea level, through the Taroko Gorge and ending up some 110km later at the 3275m summit.
The views en route were stunning,Pedal Taiwan incorporated places of interest to stop at and explore, hot springs, street markets... The roads were smooth and cycle friendly. The food stops and restaurants in the evenings gave us the chance to enjoy some superb Taiwanese food. The Taiwanese people so welcoming and friendly.
But an amazing plus was the fact that my non cycling husband was able to join in and cycle with the peloton, courtesy of an electric bike organised by Pedal Taiwan.
He thoroughly enjoyed this cycling adventure, so if an experience can transform a virtual novice to someone who has now booked and will join me on another cycling adventure then clearly Pedal Taiwan must have done a superb job. Many thanks to Rob who organised the event and the guides/ backup (Frank and James) for a great holiday.

We had a 2 week tour with our guide James who not only is a keen cyclist but is passionate about his country, it's history, people, sight's and delicacies.
The... read more roads in Taiwan are of a high standard and we were shown the best rides to sample the tarmac - with stunning views.
Great accommodation with some real surprises throughout the regional areas - again local knowledge uncovers gems.
Riding the Taiwan KOM course was a highlight and an epic experience.
I can highly recommend you putting Taiwan on your cycling to do list and let Rob and James from Pedal Taiwan look after you.

Although the cycling was superb and what we went for... read more loved the mix of great food, culture, walks, swims, hot springs and all the extras provided along the way by Bradley who went all out to give us some great memories.

We had a great time. The cycling was fun and the brochure descriptions give a clear indication of what to expect. For a part time cyclist like me the trip... read more was challenging but achievable even if i was a little slow up the 87k climb! My wife had a great time on a hired electric bike which made hill climbing very easy. We enjoyed the mix of cycling and stopping off to see the sights - hot springs, tea plantations, night markets, great food, temples, friendly people. The accommodation worked really well even in remote locations and the support team were helpful throughout.

I did the 4 day KOM tour, and James and Annie were excellent guides. The rides and climbs were challenging for enough for a fit and experienced cyclist, especially days... read more 2 and 3 which include both sides of Wuling Pass, but also quite doable for others.
The hotels and food were also very good. Our guides took us to great local places for food that we would never have visited on our own.

Taiwan is a great place to cycle (wide roads, bike lanes, friendly drivers and locals, great landscape, some serious mountains!) and Rob from PedalTaiwan.com did a great job to help... read more us design the perfect trip for this father and son (13yo) week-end from Taipei to the Coast (Fulong, Jiaoxi), get us geared up (the bike rentals were of a high quality) as well as welcome us during our ride.
Kudos to James, our local Taiwanese cycling guide (with a well-equipped support Van), who was the ideal partner for this type of ride, thanks to his local knowledge, food recommendations, patient temperament etc; He always makes sure you have a fabulous time, either on the road/bike, or during the various breaks and stops. He is a real asset!
We have done our fair-share travelling in the Asia region, and eventhough this was our first cycling-only adventure, we found that PedalTaiwan delivered on all aspects of the organisation despite the challenges associated with a bike trip (logistics, weather, closed roads, etc). I highly recommend the experience with Rob, James and PedalTawain.

Thanks go out to Rob and the team at Pedal Taiwan for a fantastic 2 weeks in Taiwan, exploring the best cycling, food and natural attractions.
Accommodation ranged from 4... read more star in cities, to hostels and BnB in the regions, but was all of a high standard.
We generally searched out street food and restaurants where locals eat. Again, all fantastic.
Unlike many Asian countries, there was no worries about food poisoning, the water, or crime.
I felt safe at all times, even when walking alone on the last night in Taipei... try that in Barcelona!
The Taiwanese people are lovely and helpful. Many were curious about what we were doing, and blown away by the distances etc.
Drivers, generally were patient and gave us cyclists a wide berth. A polite toot in the mountains let us know they were passing.
Bike lanes on most roads except in the mountains , shared with scooters.
NO smashed glass!
Roads in Taiwan are a really high standard and
invariably hot mix. Again a contrast to here!
Finally, thanks to Brad, our guide, whose local knowledge, humour ( and Mandarin! ) got us through it all!
