自転車天国/Bicycle Paradise

Giant社の有る台湾という事も有るけど、自転車はかなり多い。大学のキャンパスだからこそ、近くに有る寮に住んでいる学生は多くて、皆自転車で通学する人が沢山いる。日本と同じくロックを輪に通すだけで十分安全だ。
ニューヨークだったら有り得ない話だ。ロック二つ使って、ポールなどに繋げても自転車が盗まれる事が普通に有る。

The campus has big open roads running through it with very little traffic, and because many of the students live in dorms nearby, lots of people use bicycles for commuting to class.  Much like in Japan, everyone just puts a lock through the back wheel and leaves their bike sitting around unattached to anything.  Can you imagine doing that for even two minutes in New York?
