Since it opened at the end of 2025, many bicyclists have taken advantage of the Pump Track Extreme Park in Zhubei, Taiwan’s first bicycle park with 1.5-meter inclines. Some people questioned whether directional arrows painted on the ground are incorrect, warning that they could lead to collisions. But experts say these arrows do not indicate direction, but where to jump, just like designs overseas.

Children ride bicycles up and down inclines at this bike park, having a great time. But there’s something they didn’t consider.

Come up from here.
This side also says come up from here. Are they trying to get someone killed?

This is Taiwan’s first bicycle park with 1.5-meter inclines, the Pump Track Extreme Park in Zhubei, built at a cost of NT$23 million. But some people think the directional arrows were painted incorrectly and could easily lead to collisions. After posting their concerns in a local community group on Facebook, experts said the arrows have another purpose.

Its main purpose is to tell you that this is a jumping platform, that you can fly and jump from here and practice some aerial movements. It’s not really about direction.

The Zhubei Pump Track was designed for jumping and aerial skills. Its layout is focused on testing riders’ ability to interpret terrain and perform aerial maneuvers. There’s no specific one-way route in the park. The arrows on the ground indicate the points to take off from.

The arrows don’t indicate direction, but where riders can take off for jumps. Those unfamiliar with extreme sports may misunderstand the arrows, which could be dangerous.

Member of public
I’ve seen people going the opposite way, because pump tracks are a very new concept in Taiwan. It would be best if there was a notice about it.

Member of public
When I first came here, I thought that the symbol indicated direction.

In general, regular bicycles are not allowed in extreme sports parks, but there are no clear signs at the entrance. Ordinary cyclists have been coming, and some parents even bring their kids. Uninformed people may misunderstand the arrows on the ground, so it’s not surprising that this has raised concerns.
