Cycle for Love - Asia Rainbow Ride This is a ride, not a race. We will adjust the pace to the rider’s self-assessed speed as much as possible. Riding will be at a comfortable pace, with time for rest.
We partner with Taiwan Bike Tour, a professional bike tour company for our logistics. About 70% of the cycling will be alongside cars on the road, and 30% will be on designated bike paths. There will be cycling instructors guiding traffic and leading the route. There will be rest stops and a lunch stop over the day. There is a pace for every rider. Whether you are a seasoned cyclist or a beginner, there is something for everyone. We will have support vans in case anyone needs to be transported to the hotel. Bike mechanics, as well as medical personnel, will travel in our group to ensure everyone’s safety.
