The story of Panagoe
Meet Our Staffs
Stephen Chen
Founder & Ride Leader
Stephen used to work in a local travel agency and began his cycling life by cycling to work for the purpose of protecting the environment and reducing carbon emission. Soon after, cycling became his great passion and he began to cycle around Taiwan, the island described by the Portuguese in the 16th century as “Ilha Formosa”, which means ''the Beautiful island''.
He pedalled through almost every road across the island and wanted to introduce the beauty of his home island to others through an environmental-friendly way of travel. He then started Panagoe cycling tour, combining his profession in tourism and his passion for cycling, to provide fantastic cycling and rich Taiwanese culture experiences to foreign travellers.
