作者簡介

Mark Tovell

Mark Tovell is the author behind Bicycle Touring Taiwan, Roads above the Clouds.
A writer, artist, illustrator and designer Mark holds a post graduate from Chelsea college of Arts, London. But all of those self-aggrandising titles don’t compare to the title Mark holds most dear, cyclist.
After years of travelling the world Mark gave up backpacking picked up his bicycle and started to cycle tour, he never looked back.
Years later, he came across a book, Wu, Ming-Yi’s The Stolen Bicycle. Transported by this wonderful text Mark landed on the Island of Taiwan where the seeds of writing a new route to touring the heart of Asia grew.
Bicycle Touring Taiwan, Roads above the Clouds is Mark’s first book and is the culmination of years of exploring, writing and drawing on this wonderful island, as he still does today.
Mark currently lives in Tainan, south Taiwan with his bicycle, Jimmy. Mark happily helps any cyclist in need and is a host on warmshowers.org, so be sure to contact him if you happen to be riding through, the door is always open.
