[quote=“Mucha Man”]I’ve noticed some new urban bike lanes in taipei that run along wide sidewalks. Followed one from the riverside paths at Gongguan through Shi-Da last night as far as Taipower MRT. Was pretty good especially the first part alongside the new Hakka Cultural Centre.
Read this today and am wondering if the city is not quietly putting in more rideable lanes in the downtown area and not just along the rivers.
You do see a lot of sidewalk expansion these days so it would be great if they were also useful for biking. Also see a lot of new access ramps and bridges and what not leading from the city to the riverside lanes. I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t going in without fanfare after the disastrous Dunhua experience. “Let’s build it and if it’s good we can take credit later. If it’s shit no one will notice.”[/quote]
That’s very interesting. I’ll be interested to see how it progresses.
