Wow, guessing this is a case of bugger off if you don't have a letter from Murdoch or some such.
Shame they don't put this much effort into the local writers.
Y'know... the ones actually living here. I expect many 'coastal cycling in Taiwan is awesome OMG I LOVE GIANT and beef noodles are tops' type articles after this 'tour'.
Who will take their readers on cycle tours? I know there are lots of companies targeting Taiwanese and Chinese, but are there any targeting westerners?
Hi P.S. and all, if you are in Taiwan and interested in any local cycling tour,Edison Travel Service (http://www.edison.com.tw/) does provide the cycling tour by request only. Giant travel department (http://www.giantcyclingworld.com/web/travel.php) can provide more info about cycling routes.
