one bike in a line of a thousand scooters

It’s Saturday here in Taipei and this afternoon we’ll see what Josh Hon and his crew have been working on. It’s a new global bike brand and I’ll upload photos and tweet live from the event. Yesterday we visited Taipei 101, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall , and went out to a traditional, beer-drinking, business dinner at the Five-Dime Driftwood restaurant.

As I said on on Twitter Retweet

Five-Dime Driftwood, fever-dream aboriginal restaurant put some weird mojo on us.

twisted Taipei art

and think what happened is this 40-foot tall Nicolas Cage got in my head first. A good ride on new bikes should reset the mojo, right as rain.

Great dinner with good friends and business people in a Taipei version of a Goudy with cubist, Aboriginal is an odd combination. Entertaining for sure.
