Besides the MRT, you can bike to places as another form of transportation (others include buses and taxis).
With a rental rate of only 10NTD for 30 minutes, there's no wonder why UBike (YouBike) has become popular. This simple bike system adds to the convenience of travel in Taipei City.
If you see a bike with a yellow thingy on the back wheel (with a smile or a commercial), your looking at a UBike bike.
To rent one, you must register your EasyCard at a station's kiosk with a phone (for an authorization code).
Then you go to a bike dock and put your EasyCard over the sensor, thus loosening the bike dock.
After... bike for as long as you want. Don't forget that 10NTD/ 30min. will be deducted from your EasyCard.
Later, when your done with the bike, rack it into any station. And swipe your EasyCard. You're done!
If you can't find a YouBike station nearby to rack or retrieve a bike from, download this app:

Hope you enjoy biking with UBike!!
