Taiwan cycled into Toronto on October 17

TORONTO, Oct. 18, 2018 /CNW/ -- On October 17, a selection of world-class instructors lead an upbeat spin class at the prestigious Spokehaus cycling studio in Toronto. The class virtually took participants through the beautiful landscapes of the Taiwanese countryside.

The cycling journey was inspired by the Cycle Route No. 1, a 968-kilometer route that circumnavigates the island and takes 10 to 12 days to complete. The 15-minute class took riders along the dramatic Qingshui Cliff, mimicked steep labyrinths of Taroko Gorge, traveled along the river of New Taipei City and concluded on the winding paths of Sun Moon Lake. The music was inspired by the vibrant sounds and sights of Taiwan to complement the journey as riders virtually navigated the stunning sights of the island nation.

Delicious Taiwanese-inspired cuisine was served after the class, and a guest speaker elaborated on their experiences cycling in Taiwan and offered unique insights into the destination.

Known as "the bicycle kingdom," Taiwan has been a paradise for cyclers for a number of years, even before the legendary Cycle Route No.1 was constructed. In 1981, the well-known bicycle brand GIANT Bicycles was established in Taiwan, which helped accelerate a national and global interest in bicycling. Today, Taiwan is a major destination for all types of cyclists and all ranges of levels. The easily accessible trail networks and bike paths allow for people to fully immerse in Taiwan's natural wonders. Whether participants are looking to race with seasoned veterans, enjoy a leisurely family activity or something in between, the 2018 Taiwan Cycling Festival which takes place in October and November is also the place to be.
