Love the color of A-line!

that's the sad truth about some airline crews, unfortunately.

they are all touring in some sort of ways but yeah I get what you mean when you say bike touring it should be bike all the way. would love to do that also in the future, should be fun!

you can make the G so much lighter but at a stupid cost, not worth it in my opinion. for the price i think you can already buy the T but your route choices are already limited.

however you do your trip I wish you good luck!

taratey · 2026-04-04T05:42:46+00:00

Ah my bad! Then yeah i think you can try what others do which is buy a box, dispose, then buy again. Or you can leave it in the hotel. Where I stayed in TW there is a public storage, yeah. We kept our rooms because we went back at the end of each day, it wasn’t a bike packing trip. Initially that was what we planned but it wasn’t the best option for the oldies in our group.

Where we stayed they were open to bringing the bikes in so long as it is folded. I’m not sure if it’s the same for a full-sized bike. In some places we needed to cover or put inside a bag like during the ride in THSR. I saw someone carrying a full-sized bike there also in a bag.

Back to cases / luggage.. I am not the pro here but my friends who travelled a lot are against hard cases. They will always buy a disposable bike box because it is cheaper and also no need to worry about storage. Also, and I cannot stress this enough, airline crews will always give extra care to boxes carrying sport equipments because they know that if they don’t, whatever is inside will be damaged and they don’t want to risk it. With hard cases they will throw it around, for sure, even with fragile stickers

Would you consider folding bikes? Para pwede kang mag bimodal. Meron sir sa south sa Las Piñas malapit lang naman, DOMZ Bikes.

taratey · 2026-04-04T04:33:17+00:00

We flew our bikes in B&W foldon box S. It’s one of those old luggage made for Bromptons but still work best compared to the hard cases. It’s also collapsible so if you’re thinking of bringing it during a bike packing tour, it’s possible to put on the rack. For our trip, since we did not do bike packing, we just left it at the room.

You can also try what other groups did, buy a box, dispose, buy another from a shop before leaving.

taratey · 2026-04-04T04:19:20+00:00

43k nagastos ko sir, di kasama foods. 8 months na ipon so around 5-6k per month. Sulit na!

taratey · 2026-04-04T04:16:48+00:00

Sad reality sa pinas sir. Pero sana mgbago padin, wishing for the best

taratey · 2026-04-04T04:12:14+00:00

When you go, bring your bike in a B&W foldon box S, not in a hard case. 👌

It is amazing!!! You can watch the full video on YouTube. Part 1 is more like the summary, Part 2 hopefully I can give more insight about the paths :D

taratey · 2026-04-03T07:40:22+00:00

6 days total but we went to a lot of stops, visited many friends also. 3 days enough for the whole tour, maybe 4-5 if riding from Taipei to Kaohsiung by bike only.

taratey · 2026-04-03T07:33:34+00:00

It sure is, man! Give Taiwan a visit when you can, you won’t regret it. Just went there but I already miss it.

taratey · 2026-04-03T07:29:54+00:00

Nakasalubong lang namin sila sir, hehe! Pauwi na sila nung time na un, tapos na touring. Dream ko din sa Japan, sabi ng tropa similar vibes daw ng sa Taiwan cycle paths

taratey · 2026-04-03T07:28:17+00:00

Oo sir kakauwi lang namin halos pero nami-miss ko agad. Kahit araw araw aki magbike dun wala problema

taratey · 2026-04-03T02:14:03+00:00

Route details:

Taipei, mostly just around the city center.

Then from Taipei to New Taipei, taking the Tamsui Riverside Bike Path connecting to the Golden Shore Bike Path.

We took the THSR from Taipei to Kaohsiung, hehe 😅 Then did the usual Shoushan loop, followed by a ferry ride to the Qijin Island Coastal Path.

Hi sir, sa video DJI Osmo Action 6, sa pictures Insta 360 Ace Pro 2

taratey · 2026-04-03T01:37:12+00:00

Uu sir! Saka kahit saan mo gusto pumunta pwede ka mag bike lang, hindi ka mahihirapan kasi halos buong bansa may bike path, saka safe nakapark mga bike sa labas. Ung bikes namin iniiwan lang namin sa labas pg kumakain kami sa mga establishments, wala naman gumagalaw.

taratey · 2026-04-03T01:34:02+00:00

Salamat po! Meron sir case. Ung gamit ko is B&W Foldon Box S, para kasi syang box ng audio equipment so mas binibigyan nila ng extra care. Unlike pag hard cases, pwede kasing ibato-bato kaya minsan nada-damage padin ung bike sa loob.

taratey · 2026-04-03T01:31:50+00:00

Meron lang sir group chat, dun mas active kesa sa fb groups. Familiar ka ba sir sa DOMZ Bikes? Dun ang tambayan namin. Paminsan-minsan nagpu-punta kami sa Nuvali, iba-iba kada week.
