How to find bicycle parking in Taipei?
I am going to Taipei with my bicycle, and plan to ride to many places for a few days. I will need to park my bicycle somewhere when I am visiting, or eating, or sleeping, etc.
The Taipei government tries to encourage its citizens to use bicycles to travel around the city, and according to this press release last year it released an app that helps people find bicycle parking spaces. Unfortunately, I can't find that app.
QUESTION: Is there a map that shows places where parking is considered OK? I have found an Android app called "TPE" that seems to show that, but it does not work offline. I need something that works with an Internet connection.
Otherwise, what local customs/manners should I know about before I park my bicycle somewhere in Taipei?
