First bike ride in HONG KONG city! up Victoria Peak! -  

Haha, it's about planning😉😵 but you are right man, even with a Navi computer it was sometimes hard to find my way back to the bike shop!😵😵

Its all good but just to point out so that you are aware of that. Have a nice trip at Hong Kong. I do not recommend riding at bike paths at weekend as people renting a bike is mostly not very skillful and would be very dangerous.

Yeah, it's frustrating trying to find a route to get to places. At 3:25, there are two not very visible signs next to the bridge you go on. They need to do a better job, or better yet just stop restricting cycling.

I was just thinking the same thing. It takes a very brave, or skilled, soul to ride thru traffic like that. I hardly ever see people recreationally cycling in HK.

Jasper Verkuijl Take the mtr! You can bring your bike into the train, but you need to take the front wheel off. I know it's a little bit weird, but rules are rules :)

Take the 'ordinary' ferry from Pier 6 to Mui Wo. You can then take a nice ride up to Po Lin Monastery.

Jasper Verkuijl hiya. Yes. Bikes are regarded as 'cargo' and therefore can only be taken on the 'ordinary' ferry (i.e. Slow) service. However, you can just wheel your bike on. It's dead easy. Please note that the ferry service timetable does vary Mon-Sat and Sunday. Sunday had different sailing times, so please consult the ferry service timetable.

I don't recommend riding bike in taipei. Cuz there's nothin to see. I love hongkong seoul Tokyo!

He is "TIE fighter" pilot

his a PRO cyclist right lol

:) Yeah, like Lance or Sagan, right?

I found that he is 747´s pilot for KLM, thats amazing

Yeah, I remembered he is a pilot, but did not remembered of what :) thanks

Been to Beijing many times but never cycled there...

Thank you for the info! I will try next time when I visit HK!

Nice, sounds fun to travel the way you are. I subscribed to you when I seen that video when you got that nasty Gash on your Leg, Mountain Biking Fall Line Trail at Big Bear Lake CA.. I live not far from there in North San Bernardino... also that road Bike ride you did up to Mount Baldy that Looked fun I need to get a road Bike. Safe travels to you man..

If you do not meet fellow cyclists on a major climb , then either people are not interested in cycling, or cycling sucks in that city.

Hong Kong is much bigger than Victoria Island - where I would never cycle. The new territories would be far better - unfortunately same crazy drivers.

Jasper Verkuijl чувак хочу в вашу команду крутить педали 😎

No

agree

Jasper Verkuijl I live in Daejeon and Gwangju both ! We have a also cycling team called "Team Aero". You can check it at the youtube channel of CJ PARK. He mostly post about team group riding.

Jasper Verkuijl It's glad to hear that you have been Seoul !

No @@jasperverkuijl It seems to be sold out already.

Yep. :-) She almost bit the dust.

If you know where and WHEN to ride its ok. if not, terrible!

+Jasper Verkuijl…...yes you are lucky not to experience the 'horrors' of cycling in HK. A few years ago, I went out on a lovely autumn morning and was riding along a fast open 'dual-carriageway' towards Fairview Park in Yuen Long. Visibility was excellent and traffic light Suddenly, a car appeared on my right-hand side and before passing me and without signalling, decided to turn left into a side road. I was completely taken out - my bike sent flying into the air and me in the other direction. The driver [a Chinese lady] stopped and ran over to me crying and literally begging for forgiveness. I instantly asked how her how she did not see me - I was wearing a bright pink Giro d'Italia replica jersey and to repeat, it was lovely bright sunny day with excellent visibility. She admitted that she wasn't paying attention and offered to pay me for any damage to my bike etc. I then noticed she had her mobile phone in her hand and a young baby in the back seat of her car. It is my firm belief that she was either distracted by her baby, or using her mobile phone whilst driving - which is illegal in HK. Another driver stopped and offered first aid and called the police. Myself and the driver had our details taken and after attending hospital for treatment for the numerous cuts and bruises I suffered [my bike came off far worse!] I visited the local police station to make a full statement. A few weeks later I received a summons from HK Police charging me with 'Illegal riding of a bicycle on a public highway'! I was also informed that the driver had been sumonsed with 'Careless Driving' - which is the lowest traffic offence a driver can be charged with in HK. I objected to my summons - and astonishingly, the Police dropped all charges against me. [HK Police love to prosecute anyone involved in a road traffic accident - even if they are patently not at fault!] However, I attended court as a prosecution witness against the lady driver. Despite being the ONLY prosecution witness, the prosecution lawyer categorically refused to talk to me or ask the driver a number of questions on my behalf that I felt would have immediately proven her guilt. [ie; how a bright sunny day and if she had been paying attention, did she fail to see me?]. Indeed the prosecution lawyer was the most inept and incompetent lawyer I have ever seen. [and that's saying something!] She was very badly prepared, didn't 'probe' the lady driver about the driving conditions, ask her why she failed to see me or indicate when she made the turn into the side road. As a result the lady driver was acquitted. This is remarkable. According to their own statistics, 96.5% of all prosecutions brought by HK Police for road traffic offences are successful - yet this woman got off! I am convinced her acquittal was almost certainly due to the fact that I am cyclist and a 'gweilo'. To be fair I was lucky that day - I could have been very seriously injured. However, my bike was literally destroyed and I ended up having to buy a completely new one at great cost. To repeat, HK IS by far the worst place you can ride a bike.
