The Penghu National Scenic Area Administration (Penghu-NSA) of the Tourism Bureau, Ministry of Transportation Communications (MOTC) is training professional rider leaders to promote eco-friendly tourism so that tourists can explore the folk culture, everyday life or out-of-way tourist attractions hidden among the streets and alleyways of Penghu on a bicycle. A “Cycling Rider Leader Provider Workshop” will therefore be hosted on February 19, 2023, in Conference Room 1 at Penghu-NSA. Registrations from partners interested in cycling are welcome.
 
The latest current workshop is targeted at people in the travel industry, partners from the cycling association, or members of the public interested in cycling and travel. National cycling coach Cheng-chun Hu, ride leader expert Prof. Yung-chin Chen, and veteran ride leader volunteer Chiu-chen Hsu were invited to teach about advanced training for cycling fitness, the process of going from ride leader to tourism ambassador, and pass on experience as a rider leader on Penghu. A practical ride-leading session to Suogang on the southern route of Penghu was also held in the afternoon so that students can become qualified cycling ride leaders.
 
The professional ride leader training course will hopefully be absorbed by all the front-line tourism industry partners that took part. Penghu-NSA will work with travel agencies, hotels and bed & breakfasts on industry linkage and local revitalization in the future. More extensive and diverse cycling itineraries will be developed to generate tangible economic value for the tourist industry. Cyclists will hopefully benefit from the greater depth of cycling and tourism experience.
 
The free guided cycling tour service being offered in partnership with Penghu County Cycling Association will kick off on March 1, 2023. Cyclists from Taiwan are welcome to get a group together and pedal their way across Penghu. The weather is mild and sunny in spring. You will be able to ride through Penghu’s towns, villages and beachside trails at a relaxing 15 ~ 20 kmh that will boost your strength and fitness. Penghu offers plenty of places for cyclists from Taiwan to explore and take photos/selfies.
 
The Guided Cycling Tour program of Penghu NSA will run from March 1 to June 30. Cyclists and groups of 5 or more can simply book 7 days in advance to have trained volunteers provide guided rides and tours. Cyclists can start booking now.
