Ooooh Machinery!

So the Taiwan Bike show has been and gone.....

Unfortunately I got the dates mixed up and was busy kickboxing so I didn't get to go.

Fortunately I know people who did and the general comment was that there wasn't many bikes but lots of nice machinery to see...

Such as this...


..and this....


Not really sure what these machines do but this bloke was getting excited about them....


What is it with Taiwanese and their toilets?

Apparently there were entire stands full of things like handlebar stems, and inner tube valves....

This wheel design looked interesting though...



..but best of all this bloke....



Who is current president of Taiwan (although there is a general election this weekend) said...

"We want to make Taiwan into a bicycle island with over 10,000 kilometers bike paths; a Bike Day and an Bike Museum"

So maybe there's some hope for dedicated for mountain bike trails.

Can't wait to see the museum full off spoke nipple machines though....
