Taiwan Tourism Board and Giant Bicycles is promoting cycling on the island in a big way this year. I'm in Taiwan along with several other people taking a look cycling on the island. We're currently at Sun Moon Lake at the center of Taiwan, a gorgeous alpine lake and the largest freshwater lake on the island, where we'll participate in a bike ride.

Taiwan is a great place to ride. I lived there a spend a year there a few years back and commuted across Taipei daily. I never even got hit by a car!
Take the light rail to the Taipei zoo and ride on the small roads through the mountains.
City riding is wicked too.
...hope you're having a great time, senor fritz...
Fabulous place to bike is our island. I'd be happy to take you on some excellent rides near SM Lake.
Here's a link to my post on a ride that swung down almost to Sun Moon Lake. There's beautiful places in the mountains -- how long are you staying for?

@Heath - we got a Metro pass and hopefully I'll have a chance to use it.
@BGW - we're having a BALL here. It's an amazing trip.
@Michael - Oh wow! I love your post. I rode around Sun Moon Lake yesterday afternoon on Road 21, then today me and my group participated in the Bike Taiwan event (photos coming later tonight I hope). We're about to go to dinner and then we leave for Tapei tomorrow morning.
