Danshui Cycling

After having a rather lazy start to the day I thought I would try and do some type of activity so my weekend was not a complete blur. I decided that a trip up to Danshui was in order as I had not been there for a while and you can cycle for a few hours and then head off to have a drink along the rivers edge as the sun goes down








Dabshui harbour.

It's a pretty nice cycle route along the rivers edge, and you can rent bikes really easily, in fact I recommend that you get of at a few stop before Danshui it's less crowded on weekends and you can normally find a bike rental shop very close by.













Lobster anyone?

Cycling Danshui

This Saturday Rita, Rocco, Rainy and me all headed up to Danshui which is the northern part of Taipei to go cycling. First I meet up with an old MTC friend Christos, who took us all to a nice lunch along the river sided before we got on our bikes.

They cycling trip was great fun, Rocco who like to be leading the group most of the way is not the most adventurous of cyclists and he likes to stick to the road. I was always going of down the beat track to see if we would end up at an interesting place along the river front. But all in all it was a lovely way to spend Sunday evening.

Nice old bicycle.

Cycling in Taipei has become really popular recently and especially the fold up bicycles which everybody seems to have at the moment.
