Bikes in Taipei

_BLS3154-Edit

 

Ran across this photo while doing some backups last night. The bike/scooter culture is prevalent in Taipei. This is transportation, not a toy or a weekend hobby, so the streets, laws, and traffic patterns reflect it. Against this little shop there were four spaces with four bikes and a bicycle when I set up to take the photo. And just before I clicked this guy races up and parks right in the middle where there was just enough room.
