Pacific Bike Museum Introduction
Starting from July 13, 2021, (Tuesday), the Pacific Bicycle Museum will resume operations with online and phone reservation systems. Established in 1980, Pacific Bicycle is one of the few bicycle brands in Taiwan that possesses complete capabilities in research and development, design, manufacturing, and assembly. This place is not just a factory; it is a dream factory that blends art and creativity. Each bicycle is handcrafted, and the brand has won international awards such as the iF, Red Dot, and Good Design Award, proving with strength that a bicycle can also be a collectible craft piece. Its classic model, Birdy, is not just a folding bike; it is part of the permanent collection in the Crafts Museum in the UK and the US, attracting a worldwide fanbase of ardent collectors! A must-visit highlight awaits you at the Pacific Bicycle Museum, where you must not miss the test ride experience area located within the museum. Here, you can personally feel the difference between Pacific's handcrafted bikes and mass-produced bikes, and even fold a bike yourself, experiencing the joy of "hands-on transformation." Whether for adults or children, everyone can find their own two-wheeled joy here, with scooters and four-wheeled children’s bikes available for the whole family to enjoy! Guided tours will take you through a century of bicycle history. Want to learn more about the charm of bicycles? Participating in a guided tour is a great choice! Starting with a video introduction to the history and evolution of bicycles, a professional guide will take you to explore various models designed and manufactured by Pacific, leading you into the world of bicycle evolution and innovation. The second floor exhibition area displays a variety of collectible bikes, categorized by theme, from classic antique bikes to modern design models, each with its own story worth savoring. The third floor is the exclusive stage for Pacific's own brands. Whether it’s the well-known Birdy, REACH, CARRYME, iF series, or the latest MOOVE, KOLIBRI, and specially designed bikes for cerebral palsy and special needs, such as Handy, Micah, and 2Rider, you can find them all here. Each bike represents Pacific's ultimate innovation and humanistic care. Light riding activities and in-depth exploration of local landscapes are featured in the weekly "Light Ride" event, specially planned as a unique experience. Riding Pacific's brand BIRDY or REACH City bikes, participants will follow professional guides to embark on an 8-kilometer journey from the museum to the viewing pavilion at Yong'an Fishing Port, allowing them to enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery of Xinwu while riding. Additionally, the museum periodically hosts "Expert-led Rides," where cycling experts personally lead participants to delve into the ecological and cultural richness of Taoyuan, enabling them to appreciate the vast nature and local culture while enjoying a smooth ride.
