Go Green... Go Cycling!!!



Last Sunday(March 20th), TOUR DE TAIWAN road bicycle racing event (20 international teams representing 15 countries covering 1137.65Kms around the island)started successfully. Along with that, HSBC also arranged a leisure 10Km leisure cycling excursion for amateur bikers. GREEN was the theme with bikers meandering along the wide and shady Ren'ai road towards Zhongshan north road lined with Chinese sweet-gum trees.

My legs were a bit stiff from a 25Km cycling on Friday and 10Km running on Saturday, but I was very interested to join this event that I pushed myself to wake up around 5AM so that I can reach the venue by 6:30AM. The event started around 6:45AM. Weather was really perfect with warm sunlight sprinkling down through seams in the thickets of leaves above.

I could see thousands of interested bikers participating in the event. It was really nice to see the whole area filled with nothing but bicycles.



Bikers of different age groups, from the very old to very young were seen all around.Even some cute little buddies joined the excursion to show their support for the GREEN movement.



Cycling is a wonderful exercise to keep ourselves fit and it also helps us to be eco-friendly. I am sure that everyone who participated in the event might have enjoyed it and also passed the message to others to go GREEN .
