Bike Insurance Options Coming To Taiwan

Taiwanese can expect to see their bikes insured in the not so distant future.

"....in BestWeekAsia-Pacific, Taiwan’s insurers see new market and product potential for bicycle insurance as bicycle usage becomes more popular.

With 10 million bicycles in Taiwan - one for every two residents - there is good market potential for bicycle insurance covering personal accident/injury and liability risks, according to Dan Ting, president and chief executive of Zurich Insurance Taiwan."

With the number and cost of bicycles rising in Taiwan, this might be a profitable and reassuring proposition.

Road Bike Rentals in Taipei

I get lots of people stopping by to inquire about road bike rentals in Taipei. This is a natural choice as Taipei is the largest metropole near the largest international airport. Unfortunately, information on renting road bikes in Taipei is scant and I haven't had a whole lot of answers... until now.

Behold!

There are more options, but more expensive:
