Join Bike Smiling Activities

Bike Smiling
微笑單車上路


Today I was extremely expected to attend this activities! This bike activities's spirit is based on the critical mass, which means the largest volume of the bikes on the road. If the road is full of the bikes, car drivers, government, and any one will know there is a huge group on the road and their right of the road can not be neglected.

The sponsor set a check list today. We would ride pass a circle, a shop, a road, a station, and a park to exam its bike friendly degree in this whole year.

Dunhua Road bike path under construction
1. 敦化南北路
I love this road full of trees and there will be a bike route very soon! But we found there are some cars parked on the bike lane. Sign~ This is the intermediate. I am so curious about what the other two problems.
a. There will be lots of cars on the road after the elementary schools(敦化國小,復興國小). How to deal with the conflict between the cars parking on the bike route and the cyclist riding on the route at the same time.
b. The design of bus stop is not good base on my view point. The cyclists have to stop behind the bus and after the bus leave then we can pass bus station. Why not design a special path behind the stop? I really can not understand...

2.敦化圓環
We ride 5 times on this circle! Crazy! Each circle we have to stop for 4 times and to protect our lungs we will stop in front of the scooters. Sorry! But there are really more and more people ride on the road.

3.科技大樓捷運站
Too much bikes but not enough parking space!

4.復興南路單車店
Friendly. If you are not buy your bike there, this shop will still do their best to help you.

5.鳳雛公園
Their is a tap in this park but some trees are moved to here and they are tall without much leaves.

In the end, next time 3/22 台北巨蛋廣場(under the huge screen), see you soon!
