Taipei Riverside Bike Exits

'Taipei Riverside Bike Exits' is an Android app that maps all known exits located along Taipei's riverside bikepaths. It offers a limited set of options that you can use to customize the map:


Why did I create this app?

I created this app to help me navigate the long winding bike paths of the Taipei riverside. There have been multiple times when I would usually encounter roadwork that forces me to look for bike exits where I can get in and out my usual route. However, you can also use this app for other purposes:

  • Planning cycling tours or day trips
  • Looking for alternative biking trails
  • Finding the optimal bike path for your commute
  • Scouting out your favorite riverside park
  • Tourism and travelling

Where does the data come from?

Exit data is taken from information published by data.gov.tw. For more details, navigate to the 'More information' section of the app. The app uses Google Maps and requires access to your location to determine your current position. All data is saved locally and remains on your device.


Where can I download Taipei Riverside Bike Exits?

You can download the app from the Google Play Store:

Note: This online portal is a work in progress. The goal is to create a set of pages that will contain images and videos of how the app should be used. I've avoided adding any form of media in the extension's built-in help file to avoid unnecessary bloat to the final filesize. It would be less of an issue and more convenient to host the more detailed documentation online. Hopefully people will find this blog useful.
