Association (TBEA), will be held during a four-day period from March 24 through 27 at the Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC). The show is expected to set new records in the

number of domestic and foreign companies and the number of booths, with both figures surpassing last year’s. It has been decided that the “Tour de Taiwan 2007”, being held in concert with the show for the second time, will wind up in Taipei on the opening day of the show, and the level of interest is expected to be higher than the 2006 event. We took this opportunity to speak with Kevin Wei, Executive Director of the TAITRA Exhibition Department.

Aggressive PR Activities Being Promoted Under Doctrine Of “Creating New Value, Trend Leader”

Chinese Companies To Be Invited To Participate Starting From 2008 As Show Opens Up Cycle Press: First, I’d like to ask how many applications you’ve received for participants and exhibitors in the 2007 Taipei show opening on March 24. Kevin Wei:“We’ve had applications from a total of 686 companies, 529 from Taiwan and 157 from other countries, which is more than the 650 that we had in 2006. We're also up to 2,302 booths, of which 1,766 are for domestic companies and 536 for foreign exhibitors. That’s also more than 2006, when we had 2,179 booths. So the 2007 Taipei show is going to have the largest scale ever in the 20-year history of the show.” CP: I’ve heard that special efforts are being made to strengthen and expand the services available at the 2007 Taipei show. Wei:“What I want to emphasize in particular is that we’re augmenting the intangible side of the show by giving attentive consideration to attendees and providing comprehensive services. For buyers from overseas, we’re going to hold business talks, offer discounts on hotel rates and airline tickets, provide space for business discussions and areas where people can take breaks, actively support plant tours, provide communications services such as Internet access and fax machines, run shuttle buses from the site to hotels every 15 minutes, and provide advance information on principal exhibitors and innovative products. In short, we’re going to use every imaginable means to make sure people enjoy their time at the show without any inconvenience or discomfort. We’re going to be providing service on a level that far exceeds anything we’ve ever done before.” CP: What special features will there be about the events? Wei:“The Tour de Taiwan 2007, jointly sponsored by TAITRA and the Chinese Taipei Cycling Association, is going to be held, with 20 teams from 15 countries taking part. Unlike 2006, however, when the race wound up at the Taipei 101 Building just as the show was closing, the 7th stage on the final day of the 2007 race is

INTERVIEW

Talking With TBEA Chairman Ying Ming Yang

Striving For A “World Quality Show”That Creates And Leads Trends In Bicycle Sector Taipei Show To Offer Advances In Quality And Function Improvement, Provide Thoughtful And Detailed Information Services Energetic Marketing Activities Include Surveys Of Overseas Markets, Feeling Out Production Base Possibilities Ying Ming Yang, who serves not only as chairman of the Taiwan Bicycle Exporters’ Association (TBEA) but also as chairman of the Taiwan Rubber Industries Association as well, is renowned for the breadth of his interaction among those in government circles and in the industrial sector. Perhaps his benign and goodnatured temperament figure into his success as well, but whatever the reason, a succession of supporters have appeared both within and outside of the sector offering to help with his personal vision of building a bicycle museum; the government in Changhua County is donating the land for the museum, opening the way to the first step in making the vision a reality. A number of countries around the world are

being visited in 2006 and 2007 as part of vigorous marketing activities, and there are signs that a search is underway for production sites that will lead the industry away from its concentration on China. Furthermore, the success achieved by the A-TEAM in turning to high-grade production has led to a growing trend of modernized systems based on the Toyota Production System being introduced throughout the entire industry in Taiwan, and Mr. Yang emphasizes that a future aim will be to build and expand brand strength. Mr. Yang will be approaching his third year and the last year of his first term as chairman in 2007. He spoke with us regarding his thoughts and hopes for the 2007 Taipei show, now just around the corner.

TBEA Chairman Ying Ming Yang

Members Urged To Strictly Observe Rules And Avoid Being Entangled In Anti-Dumping Measures Imposed By EU On China, Vietnam Cycle Press: The Taipei show is coming up fast. What would you most like to emphasize about the show, from the sponsoring side? Chairman Y.M. Yang:“The 2007 Taipei show is going to be the 20th time that the show has been held, which is a real milestone. Up until now, the show has led the sector in setting global trends, but for this show, we want to work with TAITRA and put on a world-level ‘quality show’ that offers even more and will definitely not disappoint the people from all over the world who come to see it. I’m hoping to see the member companies of the A-TEAM who have played a leading role over the past few years not only get better production systems established, but make progress grounded in Total Quality Management (TQM) as well. At any rate, I’m convinced that we can show people who come to the 2007 show display booths at every turn that exhibit even better improvements in quality and function, and at the same time we’ll give them a show that’s fully replete in intangible aspects, such as the provision of thoughtful and detailed information services.” CP: Won’t the issue of China versus Taiwan be receiving more and more attention at the Taipei show with every passing year?” Yang:“The industry in Taiwan has been advancing in the direction of high added value, and people will be seeing the fruits of those efforts at the 2007 Taipei show. The gap between the bicycle sectors in Taiwan and mainland China is becoming more distinct, and the issue will be arising of how to keep the two apart. The most appropriate way is to divide up their roles based on the features of the sectors in the two countries, because I don’t think it serves either one if they wear each other down through competition meant only to harass each other. It’s truly a difficult problem.”

SHOW PREVIEW

CP: The TBEA was very enthusiastically involved in a lot of areas in 2006, going to India and other neighboring countries on inspections and visits, actively participating in shows worldwide, and coming up with ways to strengthen measures to avoid dumping. Yang:“We were trying to raise our members’ consciousness not only at the training-session level, but at every opportunity, and at the same time to arouse their awareness and establish measures for eliminating illegal actions. Our factory visits to major assemblers in India, most of whom are parts makers, were carried out in response to strong urging for us to set up operations there, but we also visited Vietnam, Bangladesh and other countries in 2006. In 2007 we plan to visit Russia, Eastern Europe, Brazil and other places to conduct marketing surveys and other activities.” CP: I heard that things are moving towards making the vision of building a “bicycle museum” a reality under your auspices. Yang: "We are planning to cooperate with the government of Changhua County in establishing a 'bicycle museum'. The museum is a part of 'Bike Park' plan proposed by the government of Changhua County and it works for the bicycle history, culture and the trade show exchange center. The government of Changhua County is donating the land, so that we hope this plan can be achieved quickly. CP: How were things for the TBEA in 2006? Yang:“It ended up being a very tough year for Taiwan, mainly because of the increases in raw material prices. Also, for its part, the TBEA did everything it could to get its members to deal with the problem of products being dumped in the EU. And it was also hallmarked by the energetic marketing activities that we began conducting overseas, as I described earlier.”

CP: It’s been two years since you took over as chairman, and 2007 will be the third year of your term. People are saying that a lot has been accomplished in terms of internal reforms within the TBEA, and that communication has become much better. What areas have you been focusing on so far?” Yang:“What I tried to do most was to keep the TBEA from becoming a group that only included certain people or designated companies. Our basic policy is to create a union that any company can join or leave freely, at any time, and where companies can consult each other and speak openly and frankly. Also, something that we urged all members to pay particular attention to in 2006 was to faithfully observe the basic rules of the TBEA and avoid becoming a target of the anti-dumping measures being imposed by the EU on Vietnam and China. We asked them to check the policies with each other.” CP: What other pressing topics are at hand for the TBEA? Yang:“Researching and developing electric bicycles and securing and opening up new markets are important, but what I want to especially stress is expanding brand strengths and making sure our brands penetrate even more deeply. Strengthening and expanding the brand strength of Taiwanese companies could be seen as a key point in terms of the next generation, and the TBEA is conducting study sessions concerning brands. The Department of the Economy is also working with us and is considering a system of low-interest loans for companies to build up and expand their corporate brand strength, including buying out foreign brands. We're trying to get various backup systems in place that companies will have at their disposal.”

An Interview With Chinese Taipei Cycling Association (CTCA) General Secretary Kai Chih Lee INTERVIEW

Tour de Taiwan, Co-Sponsored By CTCA And TAITRA, Timed To Coincide With Taipei Show Commendations For Final Stage Of Tour de Taiwan 2007 To Be Presented At Opening Ceremony Of Taipei Show Race To Include 7 Hard-Fought Stages (March 18~24), Following French Procedure Of Presenting Commendations At Each Stage The Tour de Taiwan, timed to coincide last year with the 2006 Taipei International Cycle Show (“Taipei Cycle”), was the result of three years of hard effort on the part of those involved in putting it together. This year’s Tour will be the second such event. Jointly sponsored by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and the Chinese Taipei Cycling Association (CTCA), next year’s event will present a powerful lineup of 20 teams from the domestic front and abroad, three of which will be from Taiwan. The race, likely to be a hotly-contested event, will cover 766 kilometers; the first stage, on March 18, will commence with a 66-km criterium (2.2km circuit ×10 laps) in Kaohsiung City, followed by the second stage on March 19, which will circle the periphery of Pingtung County in a 80-km segment (8km circuit ×10 laps). As the days go on, the race will move north, to Chiayi County on March 20, Changhua County on the 21st and Taichung City on the 22nd, and then on to Taipei County on the 23rd. The seventh and final stage will comprise a 60-km lap around Taipei City

on March 24. Features of the Tour de Taiwan 2007 include: a) the final (seventh) day of the race will coincide with the opening day of the Taipei show; b) the course will include numerous urban and leisure-oriKai Chih Lee, General Secretary of the ented districts in the western part of Chinese Taipei Cycling Association (CTCA) Taiwan; c) safety will be at a higher level than for the previous race. Kai Chih Lee, General Secretary of the Chinese Taipei Cycling Association (CTCA) emphasizes, “There is an extremely strong synergistic effect to be gained from holding the race at the same time as the Taipei show, and the race is garnering steadily higher acclaim from the Association of International Sports Federations with each passing year.” We spoke with General Secretary Lee from various standpoints about key aspects of the Tour de Taiwan 2007.

Course To Cover 766 Km And Will Include 20 Teams: 3 From Taiwan, 17 From Overseas Cycle Press: The decision to hold the Tour de Taiwan at the same time as the Taipei show, which was done for the first time in 2006, created a huge sensation. What kind of plans do you have in mind for 2007? Kai Chih Lee:“The biggest change is that, where the last day of the 2006 Tour de Taiwan was timed to coincide with the end of the Taipei show, this year’s will have 20 teams starting out from Kaohsiung on March 18 and winding up the fiercely-contested battle on March 24, with the seventh and final stage finishing at the Criterium in Taipei City on the day on which the Taipei show opens. So the commendations will be handed out at the opening ceremony of the Taipei show. Also, unlike the 2006 event, the athletes from the various countries, as well as the managers of the teams, will be able to take their time and fully see the Taipei show.”

Lee:“Right now, we have confirmed entries from 15 countries. There will be five riders coming from each country, along with a coach and a manager, so there will be seven people per team. Ultimately, we’re expecting a total of 20 teams, three from Taiwan and 17 from other countries.”

CP: What are your foremost concerns when the race is held? Lee:“Our top priority is always avoiding riding accidents. It goes without saying that what we want to do most is to make things easy for the contestants and to create a race with a sense of being right there at the ringside for observers, so that they have fun. That’s because safety is the starting point of CP: The course has been every race.

Taiwan Cycling Life-Style Foundation Chairman King Liu

Aiming To Complete 2000km Cycling Route Around Taiwan Promoting Bicycle Rental Facilities At Tourist Spots Already 15 Bases With Total Of 5000 Rental Bikes In Taipei City And County

King Liu, Chairman of Taiwan Cycling Life-Style Foundation

Over a decade has now passed since the Taiwan Cycling Life-Style Foundation started full-scale activities. The foundation is aiming to construct a 2,000-kilometer cycling route around Taiwan, and according to the foundation's

"Cycling Around The Whole Island Of Taiwan Is My Ultimate Dream"

Chairman King Liu, "My ultimate dream is to be a b l e t o cy c l e a r o u n d t h e w h o l e i s l a n d o f Taiwan." We spoke to Chairman Liu about the results of the foundation's activities and its plans for the future.

Car-Free Day Events Held Cycling Life-Style Foundation Directors

Cycle Press: The Taiwan Cycling Life-Style Foundation's work includes promoting bicycle use in Taiwan and improving the island's cycling infrastructure, doesn't it? Chairman King Liu: The Taiwan Cycling LifeStyle Foundation was founded in 1989 as the Giant Sports Foundation. The name was changed in June 2000 to reflect the aim of being a bicycle culture organization with more public responsibility. The foundation seeks to promote health improvement and environmental friendliness and aims to make a contribution to the betterment of life and culture through popularizing cycling. We organize events such as the CarFree Day, safe cycling classes and family cycling events. The Giant Cup is another of our many activities. More than ten years have passed since activities began, and the work has received high praise from every quarter, including the government and industry. We are making progress in efforts such as establishing bike rental facilities at tourist spots and the construction of a 2,000kilometer cycling route around the island of Taiwan. Through these kinds of events and activities I feel sure that the level of interest in bicycle use is rising in Taiwan. Cycling has begun to expand as a sports and leisure activity as well as a practical means of transport, and we're going to continue to put effort into encouraging people who are not getting enough exercise to consider using a bicycle, as well as pushing forward with the necessary infrastructure for safe cycling. CP: The foundation also organizes events around the Car Free Day. Liu: The car-free day idea, which is intended to get people thinking about traffic and the environment by forgoing the use of a car in the town center for a day, started in France in 1997, and happens on September

22, mainly in Europe. The foundation joined up with the car-free day in Taiwan in 2000, organizing various cycling-related activities all over Taiwan. On September 22, 2002, we organized free cycle rentals so that people could consider traffic and environment issues through cycling.

CP: How is the construction of cycle routes progressing? Liu: We aim to build a 2,000-kilometer cycling route right around Taiwan, with 1,186 kilometers is already constructed. At the beginning, it was mainly in Taipei, but it's now spread all around the island. However, the routes are not all connected together, and I think the final completion of the route will be quite challenging. My dream is to be able to cycle right around Taiwan on a cycling route, so I want to make this dream a reality as soon as possible.

CP: A round-Taiwan cycle route would also promote tourism. Liu: In cooperation with the authorities in Taipei City and county, the foundation has been establishing cycle rental stations in tourist spots, and already there are 15 bases with a total of 5,000 rental bikes in Taipei City and county. Sightseeing by bike or on foot allows the freedom to enjoy oneself at leisure. Since walking takes too much time, I think cycling is the most suitable means of sightseeing. The use of rental bikes for leisure and sightseeing helps promote tourism in Taiwan and also raises the level of understanding about cycling.

CP: And raising the level of understanding of cycling will also help the development of the bicycle industry. Liu: That's right. For Taiwan to accomplish its role as a bicycle exporting country to the world, I think it needs to deal with providing cycling infrastructure at home. For companies to tackle R&D, quality improvement and the creation of original designs, we have to have a good cycling infrastructure. Currently, the provision of bicycle parking is a big issue in the more advanced bicycle-use countries. The bicycle industry should not focus only on selling products, it should also put its efforts into provision of infrastructure such as bike parking facilities and cycle paths. Also, at a time when the relationship between parents and children is becoming more distant, I think cycling together is an ideal way to protect family bonds. For the future, we are aiming to further promote this kind of bicycle use and raise the level of bicycle culture in Taiwan, so that we make the idea of the 'Cycling Island' a reality.

The awards ceremony will be held during the opening celebrations for the Taipei Show, allowing all the participants and organizing officials to have a thorough look at the show itself this year. Organized by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and the Chinese Taipei Cycling Association (CTCA), the Tour de Taiwan 2007is an international UCI Class 2.2 race that is becoming more exciting every year.

The 19th Taipei Int’l Cycle Show Opens For New Stage One of the most striking features of last year's Taipei Cycle was the large numbers of Japanese buyers in attendance. According to figures from the organizers, the event attracted a total of 35,537 visitors (up 4.8% on last year), with overseas visitors totaling 3,547 (an increase of 2%). The number of Japanese visitors went up by 17%

to 479, accounting for 13.5% of total overseas visitors and overtaking the numbers of US visitor numbers, who accounted for the biggest overseas contingent in 2005. As well as the usual makers, wholesalers, suppliers and importers from Japan, last year saw a marked increase in the number of dealers from 'pro shops'.

The Tour de Taiwan was held simultaneously with Taipei Cycle 2006.

Wide Range Of Events Includes Tour de Taiwan, Trend Seminars, Electric Vehicle Forums

Enthusiastic business negotiations developed at the stands.

A look around the stands at last year's show quickly demonstrated the prominence of bicycles that aim to create new demand with novel designs, shapes and coloring. Bikes that emphasize design rather than function came to the fore, with concepts that approach the style of European city cycles. The high-end bikes that dominated the show up to 2005 seemed to be in retreat at the 2006 exhibition. Instead, there were numerous trendy models designed for use in urban areas. The center of gravity of the industry's effort seems to have shifted from road and MTB to investigating the possibilities for urban, stylish bikes. Makers seemed to be trying out a variety of concepts for the 'sporty city cycles' of the future.

In fear of acquisition by a local maker, it seems that five top Taiwanese makers hastily conferred to decide on a 'White Knight' rescue by VP. The buyout amount was set at 50 million RMB, and the takeover would target the facility as a whole, including the land, buildings, machinery and equipment. The conditions, however, stipulated that all of the employees would be let go and that VP would be allowed to choose the new personnel at its own discretion.

Swivel-Head

Strida 5.0

Uni-Crown Front Fork

Integrated Stem

Swivel-Head technology allows bicycles with full sized wheels to be folded in under 15 seconds, without tools or dismantling, into compact sizes similar to small-wheeled folding bikes. Swivel-Head bikes use a 3-dimensional, 4-bar link, which automatically guides the wheels together during a single fold action. They can then be rolled on their wheels.

This new model's main concept was to make a bike as simple as possible - just 3 tubes instead of 11 used on a traditional bike and also to fold very simply into a configuration that can be wheeled along. On Strida 5.0: lightweight spoked wheels (for stiffness and high pressure tires), disc brakes (lighter and more powerful), rear freewheel (use of conventional cranks), welded BB (for stiffness).

To achieve lighter weight, this new fork design uses one suspension unit (instead of the more typical two). In addition, precision 3-D forging technology produces a light and strong steering tube. For superb suspension function, the fork moves on adjustable high-precision needle rollerbearings which have extremely low friction, so the suspension can react to even the smallest bump force.

Unlike the typical A-head type stem that utilizes two external pinch-clamps (plus an secondary assembly of top-cap, bolt and star-fangled nut), this new stem uses an expanding-wedge mechanism hidden inside the steerer tube, which fixes the stem to the fork with one single bolt. It's not only easy to assemble but also has a good-looking integrated appearance.
