ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I first came to Taiwan off the back of reading a book by one of the island's most famous contemporary writers. Wu Ming-Yi's story, The Stolen Bicycle. What was it about this mysterious bicycle island floating in the Pacific ocean? I just had to come and find out for myself.
I love to ride my bicycle. Truly, it is a real joy of life, the last contraption we have that reconnects us to the world we travel through. I fully believe anyone can bicycle tour and that there is no one way to do it and all ways are fun.
As an experienced cycle tourer I was eager to travel around Taiwan by bike, my first Huàndào. I promptly fell in love with the Island and now call it home. I have spent many years cycling exhaustively on trips navigating all of Taiwan's landscapes. It was on one of these trips that I started to take notes and draw pictures, finally in 2019 the seed of a book formed. That idea grew into what has finally become Bicycle Touring Taiwan, Roads above the Clouds.
I hope you enjoy my love letter to Taiwan and I wish that my book gives you as much inspiration as Ming-Yi's book once gave to me.
Thanks for riding along,
Mark
