Ride With Rapha: Join Cycling's Top Gear Touring Taiwan

A reader forwarded this tidbit of information my way regarding Rapha, the fine bicycle equipment maker and clothier, and the company's enthusiastic entry into the Taiwan market.

Rapha makes some pretty sharp, albeit pricy duds, but Taiwanese cycling is now at a stage where riders are becoming more brand savvy and looking for bikes and equipment to reflect a more discriminating taste.
