Pretty cool story taken from CyclingNews...I certainly hope that when I'm 73 years old, I'll be able to do the same.

Proving that you can never been too old, Giant Bicycles chairman King Liu recently wrapped up a fifteen-day bicycle tour of Taiwan at the age of 73. King began in Taipei on May 7 and then proceeded counter-clockwise and returned along the eastern coastal roads back in Taipei on May 21.

Seeking to explore the island in a more intimate fashion, King naturally decided the best option was to do so by bicycle (a Giant, of course). According to King, "Driving is too careless, walking is too slow, and only through cycling can you truly experience the beauty of this island and have this once-in-a-lifetime adventure."
