Pacific Bicycle Museum Introduction
Starting from July 13, 2021, the Pacific Cycles Co., Ltd., located in Xinshi District, Taoyuan City, will reopen and implement online and phone reservation systems. Known worldwide for its unique products, the Birdy has been revered as the king of folding bicycles and has been popular globally for nearly twenty years. The IF MODE has won the German IF Design Gold Award and the Taiwan Excellence Silver Award and is currently being showcased at the National Design Museum in the United States. The lightweight Reach has won numerous racing championships. The compact CarryMe has been seen in major cities such as New York, London, and Paris. Pacific Cycles offers a wide range of products, including tricycles for individuals with cerebral palsy, tricycles suitable for elevator use, side-hanging bikes, stair-climbing bikes, rowing bikes, and four-wheeled bikes for two riders. There is even an armored tricycle donated by the United Nations for use by residents in landmine areas in Ethiopia. Pacific Cycles provides a research and development platform to help design elites from various countries develop products and start businesses. Dozens of models of folding bikes, tricycles, and mountain bikes available on the market are products of Pacific Cycles. The Pacific Cycles Museum houses over 200 living bicycles that reflect contemporary bicycle technology rather than antique bicycles from a century ago. Thousands of domestic and international visitors come each year. To properly preserve these precious historical artifacts and fulfill an educational and inspirational function, the company took the opportunity of its 30th anniversary in 2010 to plan the original office building as a museum, gradually organizing the developmental history of its products to enrich the content. The well-known bicycle manufacturer in Taiwan, Pacific Cycles, established the Pacific Cycles Museum on its 30th anniversary, which opened in September 2014. The museum does not focus on collecting antique bicycles but aims to showcase contemporary bicycle technology. Besides the history of bicycle technology development worldwide, there are many valuable bicycle collections and replicas, while the most popular "experience area" allows visitors to test ride many of Pacific Cycles' best-selling models.
