UBike 連續兩天下班騎乘經驗

  為十月份陪家人單車環島做準備,假日之外也多練騎幾天的想法之下就這樣在週四及週五兩天都騎UBike 回家,全長只有約十公里,體力還可以應付。只是,每次回到家都全身是汗,上班的襯衫和西裝褲都要馬上下水洗,以免汗水導致衣物發霉。

       路況在台北市環河和下華江橋之後兩段雖車不多,但沒有河濱那麼好騎,還要等紅綠燈,但進入河濱後騎起來就很舒服,用UBike 第二檔可以全程高速踩踏,只有上引道才需用第一檔,腿力還不夠,爬坡還是很有難度。

      第二天路線已經熟了,全程都用高速行進,除了在河濱常遇到併排跑步或是騎車的人會慢下來,不然應該三十分鐘就可以到家。

      在河濱遇到不少騎公路車的人,很明顯看到很多台在踩踏圈速較慢卻可以快速超車的情形,這讓我開始想要買公路車了,但我不是要比賽,所以看到Giant Defy 這類舒適型的公路車,在能長途騎乘又能兼顧舒適性的考量下,可能要來看車了。

To prepare for cycling around the island with my family in October, and to practice riding for a few more days outside of holidays, I will ride UBike home on Thursday and Friday. The total length is only about 10 kilometers, and I can handle the physical strength. However, every time I get home, my body is sweaty, and my shirts and trousers at work must be washed immediately to avoid moldy clothes caused by sweat.

       The road conditions in Taipei City after the Huanhe River and the Xiahuajiang Bridge are not many, but they are not as easy to ride as the riverside. You have to wait for the traffic lights, but you can ride comfortably after entering the riverside. You can pedal at high speed with UBike in the second gear. , The first gear is needed only on the approach road, the leg strength is not enough, the climbing is still very difficult.

      The route was already familiar on the next day, and the whole journey was high-speed. Except for people running side by side or cycling in the riverside, they would slow down, otherwise they should be home in 30 minutes.

      I met a lot of road bikers in the riverside. Obviously, I saw a lot of cars with slower laps but quick overtaking. This made me want to buy a road bike, but I didn’t want to race, so Seeing a comfortable road bike like Giant Defy, considering that it can ride long distances and take into account comfort, it may be time to look at the car.
