China: First ever 29er MTB event
First ever 29er Mountain Bike Event huge Success On Xmas Day, I flew down to Guangzhou to participate in China’s inaugural 29er Mountain Bike event which I believe was a huge success and the future of the 29er here in China looks quite rosy.

The Merida Cup demonstrated the popularity of cycling in Taiwan, both road and mountain biking.

I always love coming to Taiwan, its a great little island with an abundance of riding opportunities for the discerning road cyclist.

21 November 2011
I went down to Shenzhen to take part in the 2011 Shimano Cycling Festival with two bikes in tow – a first for me! I had my Velocite Magnus road bike and an Orbea 29er mountain bike. It was manageable as I packed the road bike into the Scicon Aerocomfort Plus bag rolls very well, [...]

The Tour of Matabungkay was an action-packed weekend for cyclists and I recommend this tour and any other stage race in the Philippines for those of you contemplating racing in new and exotic countries.

Cycling races that include resort living are on the rise in Asia, races like the Tour of Matabungkay and the Tour of Bintan both offer resort accommodations with picturesque tropical surroundings for riders to unwind after hard racing.
