Mountain biking in HK

Since my knees don't like me jogging anymore, I got a mountain bike for my bday a month ago. I am finally getting into the habit of riding as much as I can again. Today was my second day to ride home from TVB. Now I have to try to ride into TVB, then I can regularly ride to and from work.

There were quite a few challenges at first. The biggest challenge being the roads in HK. Definitely not designed with bike riders in mind. Growing up I was used to riding wherever I wanted as the roads always had room on the sides. Not so here, and some drivers even go out of their way to run you off the road - if they even see you at all. But despite my initial distaste for bicycle tracks and sidewalks, I am finding that until I get the speed and power up they are safe alternative.

Before I got used to leaving TVB, I needed to find a way to get in. I was very disappointed that buses would not allow bikes at all. Luckily, I have a list of good taxis. However, living next to Hung Hom train station I was pleased that they would let me on - as long as I remove my front wheel (don't understand why, but oh well).
