UBIKE爬山

台北市很多人喜歡騎UBIKE代步,不過竟然人把UBIKE騎上武嶺!新北市一名車友,為了幫自己慶生,騎著UBIKE一路從台中朝馬,騎上台灣公路最高點武嶺,總共127公里,讓不少車友直呼太強了,但也有人罵太扯,要是騎壞了下個使用者豈不是很倒楣。

畫面中穿著黑色衣服的羅姓車友,騎上武嶺的這台腳踏車,就是台北市公共自行車"U-bike"。

羅姓車友從台北公館,把車運到台中後,就從朝馬沿著台14公路,一口氣騎了127公里,成功騎上公路最高點武嶺。

[[車友 羅先生]]
“動機很單純,生日騎U-bike,到武嶺吃蛋糕,給自己比較特別的禮物”

UBIKE設計短程用,不僅重量達17公斤,而且只有三段變速,和一般專門拿來騎山路用的單車,6到7公斤,段速20以上,但羅先生把這張攻頂照片PO上網,也引起討論。

[[車友 林先生]]
“有點誇張,應該騎不了那麼遠”

就怕下個使用者,騎到"使用過度"的單車,未來,台北市政府考慮修改費率,避免類似的爭議再發生。

 

yclist takes U-bike on trip into Nantou mountains (2013/06/10)

A cyclist put a U-bike to the test, taking it over more than a hundred kilometers of mountain roads to reach Taiwan’s highest highway elevation. Many people were impressed, but not the Taipei government. It expressed concern that the hard riding could have damaged the shared public bike. 

Dressed in black is Deo Lo, a cyclist who rode this Taipei City U-bike all the way to Wuling.

Lo rented the bike in Taipei’s Gongguan then had it delivered to Taichung’s Chao-ma area. Then he began riding on Highway 14, traveling 127 kilometers to reach Wuling, the highest point in Taiwan’s highway system.

Deo Lo 
Cyclist
My motivation was very simple. On my birthday, I wanted to ride my U-bike to Wuling and eat cake. I wanted to give myself this special gift.

Weighing 17 kilograms and with only three speeds, U-bikes are designed for short excursions. A good mountain bike weighs between 6 and 7 kilograms and has 20 or more speeds. When Lo posted this photo on Facebook, many people were surprised he could ride such a bike on mountain roads.

“It’s a little crazy. I could never ride that far.”

Concerns that some people may overuse public bicycles have led the Taipei City government to consider amending the rates for U-bikes to prevent a similar situation from happening again.
