Taiwan very bike-friendly, but cars gaining year by year.

Taiwan, compared to the U.S., is very bicycle-friendly. It is not uncommon to see elderly people pedaling happily and safely in heavy traffic. Motor scooters are more common and are allowed to filter through car traffic, making them more appealing for getting around quickly. Bike lanes can be found within pedestrian crossings--common at major intersections. Bike sharing serves 25,000 a day, with the first 30 minutes free.
