why not take a bold leap forward and imagine what the world might look like in Y3K, in the year 3000 AD? Y3K is guaranteed to blow our minds—where every impossibility turns possible. Yet, to smoothly transition from Y2K to Y3K, we must face the challenge of sustainable transformation and green innovation—from our personal lives to nurturing Mother Earth. That’s the kind of challenge that steadies our body and soul.

So, in this edition, we’ve invited outstanding friends from various fields to join us in exploring the endless possibilities of Y3K. Kan Entertainment’s Vice President Jenny and O’right founder Ge Wang-ping reveal how the entertainment and beauty industries are not only pioneering green innovations but also educating audiences and amplifying their influence. Meanwhile, Velo’s General Manager Ann Chen has spotted a future trend where the bicycle industry breaks boundaries by collaborating across sectors. This year, Velo is teaming up with SRM to forge a brand-new model for a green circular economy.

And as a special treat, Tour de France 35-time stage winner Mark Cavendish—visiting Taiwan for the first time—dropped by Velo. He shared, with heartfelt candor,

VELO: Smart Riding Technology 迎接科技智能的未來騎行 Word/ Tingyu Chen

Have you ever imagined what bicycles will look like in the year Y3K (the year 3000)?

Maybe, just like in Spielberg’s classic movie E.T., bikes won’t just carry adorable aliens home but will also be futuristic flying machines soaring across galaxies, becoming the trendiest transportation of the future!

Think about it—when the Y3K era arrives, bikes won’t just be limited to roads; they’ll be AI-powered, self-driving, and smart riding machines that redefine mobility. Our cycling world is about to be flipped upside down!

CONTACT POINTS ♢

These major players are bringing in huge investments and cutting-edge technology, which is intensifying competition. Even DJI, the drone powerhouse, has ventured into the e-bike market. Yet, let’s not forget, we traditional cycling brands have decades of expertise and craftsmanship under our belts!

’’ 你想過 Y3K（公元 3000 年）的自行車會長什麼模樣嗎？ 或許像《ET 外星人》電影裡一樣，不只是載著 ET 回家， 而是能翱翔星際，成為未來人類最潮的交通工具？

你是否想過，當 Y3K 時代來臨，自行車不只是地面的交

通工具，而是結合 AI、自動駕駛、智慧騎行的科技座駕？ 我們的騎行世界，將超乎想像。

’’ Relentless Innovation: The Real Risk Is Standing Still VELO’s CEO, Ann Chen, makes a powerful statement: "As we move toward Y3K, the greatest risk isn’t technology advancing too fast—it’s us staying stuck in the past.

Stagnation is the real danger. Every day, we push forward, constantly thinking about how to make our supply chain greener and more innovative. Because if we stop moving, we might just get left behind. That’s the new competitive landscape—keep experimenting, keep evolving, until we find the most suitable path forward."

So, what will the bicycle industry look like in the future?

Will bikes actually fly?

"Who knows? By the time Y3K rolls around, we might really have floating bicycles—or we might not need bikes at all—because we’ll be teleporting everywhere!” Chen jokes. The secret to VELO’s success lies in its ability to adapt, innovate, and embrace new technologies. The future may be unpredictable, but one thing is certain— VELO and Ann Chen are more than ready to take on whatever challenges come next.

the design "as plain as possible," avoiding excessive variation or visual distractions. This simplicity encourages users to focus on the subtle changes in their surroundings rather than the design itself.

Wu emphasizes that modern life's fast pace has dulled people's sensitivity to their environment. In the past, Taiwan's bike paths were often designed with a heavy focus on infrastructure and tourism appeal, neglecting the inherent value of the environment. Looking forward, the landscape design of bike paths should prioritize sustainability, public access to the land, and fostering

Contemporary designers bear the responsibility not just to reshape spaces but to create mediums that enable people to respect and interact with the environment meaningfully.

The Sandiaoling Bike Path represents more than just transportation infrastructure—it's a testament to environmental awareness, historical respect, and human-centered care. For the designers, the challenge extended beyond technical aspects to questioning and rethinking traditional approaches. The true significance of the Sandiaoling Bike Path lies not only in providing a

revolution destined to transform our planet.

“If you think eco-friendly products are always expensive, perhaps you haven't found the right approach yet. Green is an opportunity, not a burden,” says Ko Wang-Ping with a warm, confident smile.

The man behind the world's first carbon-neutral beauty brand speaks with ease, yet this success was born from a deeply personal tragedy.

In 2002, Ko lost both parents within six months. Deeply grieving, he moved homes to escape painful memories but soon collapsed from formaldehyde exposure in his new house. That incident awakened him to the critical link between environmental quality and personal health.

Reflecting somberly, Ko shares:

The Second Growth Curve: Turning Sustainability into Strength Many companies fear green transitions, believing them costly and risky. Ko counters this with the concept of a "Second Growth Curve," persuading his supply chain partners that proactive transformation is the key to future success.

“If we stick to old ways, we'll eventually be phased out.

Creating a second growth curve allows us to lead the market proactively, rather than reacting passively,” Ko emphasizes, referencing the once-resistant electric vehicle industry now racing to catch up.

FRIENDS． 27

Despite initial challenges and costs that could have crippled smaller businesses, Ko insisted: “Our goal isn't to become expensive but to help everyone become greener and stronger together.”

He proactively partnered with packaging suppliers, paper manufacturers, and recyclers, even personally investing to support their transformations. His sincere commitment created a resilient and sustainable supply chain that has enhanced O’right’s global competitiveness.

Practical Dreaming: Poverty Fuels Innovation Contrary to popular belief, Ko and his team demonstrate sustainability need not be costly.

“Our secret weapon is 'being poor,'” Ko jokes warmly.

“Without resources, we innovate.”

O’right’s resourcefulness led them to create the world’s first shampoo derived from coffee grounds, a byproduct previously considered waste.

“Coffee grounds naturally contain beneficial oils for your scalp—and they're virtually free,” Ko explains.

During the pandemic, this innovation boosted O’right’s business, proving sustainability can thrive economically.

“Dreaming is easy, but grounding those dreams to sustain your livelihood is the real challenge.”

Rather than investing heavily in advertising, O’right channels funds into research and development, ensuring their products speak for themselves.

This strategy led to breakthrough innovations, including the world’s first carbon-neutral shampoo and fully biodegradable packaging. By prioritizing substance over marketing, O’right set a new industry standard, prompting even major corporations to follow suit.

“Our budgets are like magic; we stretch every dollar threefold,” Ko laughs proudly. “The higher your position, the more creative your solutions must be—our true superpower.”

Witnessing Climate Change: Education as a Catalyst Beyond his company’s success, Ko’s office walls display meticulous notes from his trips to the Arctic, reflecting his commitment to climate action.

In Greenland, he witnessed glaciers melting faster than scientists predicted, with thousands of tons of ice collapsing each second—far exceeding IPCC forecasts.

Returning humbled yet alarmed, Ko now passionately advocates for environmental education.

“We can't just make products; we must change people's consciousness,” he insists.

O’right actively promotes education through documentaries, university collaborations, and its green headquarters, which serves as an open learning space for sustainability. Every year, thousands of visitors, from students to corporate leaders, experience firsthand how to implement ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles in business.

She elaborates: "Future shows might not even need human actors; they could be entirely produced by AI. But without emotion, no matter how polished the content, it’s meaningless.

From classic e-bikes to lightweight mopeds and the ever-popular cargo bikes (bakfiets), e-bikes are redefining mobility across Dutch streets.

These electrified cargo bikes aren’t just cool - they’re practical. With pedal-assist motors and extra load capacity, they make urban life a breeze.

Whether it's carrying groceries, transporting children, or delivering packages, the e-cargo bike has emerged as a daily hero in Dutch cities.

Take family outings for example. It’s common to see Dutch parents cruising the streets with their kids comfortably seated in a cargo bike. Weekday mornings and the 2:30–3:00PM school rush hour (when most Dutch

primary schools let out) turn school gates and playgrounds into buzzing hubs of e-cargo bike activity.

Parents effortlessly pick up their kids—no honking cars, no parking hassles, just pure pedal power with an added boost.

Speaking of parking headaches, let me share a personal tip. In tight urban spaces where parking is scarce, expensive, and traffic feels like a survival game, the e-cargo bike is a game-changer. While a regular bike’s rear seat can carry just one school-aged child, a good e-cargo bike can handle 2 to 4 kids depending on the model. It’s a lifesaver for Dutch parents who want to ditch the car keys, skip traffic and still get their kids to school on time.

E-Bike Safety in the Spotlight: AI to the Rescue for Safer Rides The RIVM report explains why so many people are switching to e-bikes: they’re easy to ride and take the strain off your legs. The popularity of e-bikes brings attention to advancements in battery technology. Top battery manufacturers like BOSCH are raising the bar with AI-powered systems. These intelligent algorithms evaluate factors such as your pedaling intensity, speed, and even the condition of the road. Based on this data, the system adjusts the level of assistance, ensuring you get the boost you need when you need it most—like tackling that steep uphill climb without breaking a sweat.

Walker, an environmental psychologist, notes that when it comes to driving behavior, individuals often have significant blind spots.

Problems such as speeding, carbon emissions and traffic accidents go ignored because car culture has created a positive image of driving. This phenomenon, known as “car brain,” fosters resistance to alternative transportation methods as they challenge the established order of driving. Over the past century, cars have evolved into symbols of status, making us forget what roads without engines once looked like—clean air and unspoiled landscapes.

As climate change intensifies, Oslo, a city of nearly 700,000 people aims to have 25% of its residents using bicycles for daily commuting by 2025. However, policies that overemphasize private electric cars often sideline space for the cycling movement. From an urban design perspective, while electric cars reduce carbon emissions, an overabundance of vehicles isn’t a sustainable solution. Cycling, as a mode of transport, is far more environmentally friendly. Bikes require simpler infrastructure, less maintenance, and minimal parking space, making them ideal for creating livable, climate-friendly cities.

Taiwan exports over 1 million electric bikes to Europe annually and produces one-third of the world’s bicycle components. With excellent manufacturing capabilities and valuable examples from other cities, could we also work on creating a more livable environment together? Imagine a child on the backseat of an e-bike, soothing their tantrum with sunshine and waving to butterflies along the way.

This is the simple joy that bicycles bring to life.

On a December afternoon, Kari Anne purchased a two-meter-tall Christmas tree near the church and tied it to her Whee! Bike. With the sunset at her back, riding her proudest ride, she carried both the festive spirit and her mission, pedaling forward, one step closer to her goals.

Pro Tips for Hassle-Free Saddle Installation 自行車坐墊安裝省心實用小技巧

Finding the right saddle position is crucial for comfort and performance. Follow these simple steps to fine-tune your saddle setup like a pro. 坐墊安裝如何找到合適的安裝位置，以下小技巧，協助你找到符合設置的安裝點。

Step 1

KEEP THE SADDLE LEVEL

使坐墊保持水平

Ensure your saddle is perfectly horizontal before making any further adjustments. A level saddle provides a neutral starting point for a balanced ride. 在進行任何調整之前，請先確保坐墊完全水平。當坐墊保持水平， 才能作為正確的基準點，確保騎乘時的平衡與穩定。

Step 2

IDENTIFY THE BRP (BIOMECHANICAL REFERENCE POINT) 辨識 BRP（生物力學參考點）

Measure the front-mid section of the saddle using a caliper. Locate the BRP, which is typically 70-80mm from the saddle nose.

Since saddle nose lengths vary across different models, the BRP is the key reference point for positioning rather than the nose itself. 測量坐墊中前段，使用游標卡尺找出 BRP( 大約 70-80mm）， 不同坐墊的鼻頭長短不一，但 BRP 才是坐墊位置測量與放樣的基準。

（B）坐墊 BRP 至五通偏移量 – 測量生物力學參考點（BRP） 到五通（BB）之間的水平距離。

（C） 坐墊傾斜角度 – 調整坐墊角度，以符合您的騎乘偏好。

微調坐墊的前後位置與傾斜角度，以達到最佳的舒適度與踩踏效率。

FINAL CHECK & ADJUSTMENT After installation, hop on the bike and test the setup. If discomfort persists, make minor adjustments until you find your ideal position.

Word/ Lydia Ho、Catherine Chih

When you hear "polo," do you picture a group of elegantly dressed aristocrats, mounted on majestic horses, swinging mallets as they dash across a lush green field?

Well, swap out the horses for modern-day "iron steeds" – bicycles and replace the rhythmic clatter of hooves with the smooth whirring of chains. Voilà, you’ve got bike polo - a sport that’s a thrilling mix of speed, strategy and sheer passion. Not only does it redefine what cycling can be, but it also proves that bikes are far more than just tools for commuting or fitness - they’re versatile stars of the sports world!

A TEST OF BALANCE AND COORDINATION Bike polo is played on a smaller field compared to traditional polo, often taking place on basketball courts or mini-soccer fields. The sport comes in two variations: grass and hardcourt. Grass bike polo demands stamina and technical finesse, though the uneven ball trajectory can disrupt the game’s flow. On the other hand, hardcourt bike polo has become the modern standard, typically played on enclosed hard surfaces.

A standard match features three players per team, with no dedicated goalie. Players alternate between offense

and defense. Goals are placed at either end of the court, and players score by striking the ball with the mallet head. The first team to score five points, or the one leading when time runs out, wins the game. A key rule?

The undulating shoreline provides thrilling surprises for cycling enthusiasts who crave speed and challenges. Riding along the scenic Heaven Road, distant mountains loom like dreams on the horizon, where water meets sky in endless poetry. From a bird’s-eye view, Pingtian Lake resembles a vast canvas reflecting the heavens, its shores dotted with red and golden leaves that add warmth to early winter’s chill. Straight roads form perfect lines linking nature and humanity, while the small islands at the lake’s heart stand as secluded verses of poetry, their ancient trees and lush greenery harmonizing with the surrounding waters—a masterpiece sculpted by nature’s hand.
