Do you want to try pedaling  around Hong Kong? This island has something for everyone. Hong Kong’s various cycling routes can take you to temples and cafés; fish ponds and coastlines.

For a family-friendly tour, try the Tung Chung to Sunny Bay route. Roads are quiet, and you have beautiful views of the coast.

In contrast, the Peak to Shek O trail offers rugged MTB riding. You’ll want to take a Camel-Bak for this one!

The Chi Ma Wan tour offers many views of the sea; and on the Cheung Chau route, you can explore Hong Kong’s back streets.

The climate is subtropical. Winters are very mild; and Summers are hot; muggy; and rainy. October through early December is when the weather is apt to be the most pleasant. It does get cool enough for long sleeves and long pants; take a jacket, too.

Once again, I come to the Thou Shalt Not aspect of visiting any foreign country. Here are a few:

Do not be a “snail”. No problem. I’ve always been in a hurry!

Don’t bring only casual wear. If  you want to try some upscale restaurants, or visit temples, this makes sense.

Don’t stay on Hong Kong the whole time. It would be interesting to see other islands, too.

Don’t go outside if a typhoon hits. Sort of like with hurricanes.

Don’t overdo sun exposure. Use that sunblock!

Don’t break any laws. That should go without saying. Be sure you inform yourself about local laws. What might get you a mere warning in the USA might get you thrown into prison in another country.

I’d guess that last one includes cycling rules; so brush up on those, too. Then choose your route and enjoy the ride.

ABOUT ME

I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.

I live in New Orleans; and  retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
