近年來在環保意識的抬頭與樂活風潮興起，造成單車活動風行。而以休閒娛樂為主的地方性自行車專用道路，已無法滿足追求挑戰性及冒險性的登山自行車騎士。而台灣地形多為高山丘陵之多變地形且林道資源豐富，十分適合推展登山自行車活動。本研究透過個案研究方式，探討以林道作為發展登山自行車活動的可行性，並以烏來西坑林道為例。經個案實地調查與研究結果顯示：未來應優先規劃設計林道基礎設施及資訊設施，並將林道登山車活動分為入門、中級、高級、挑戰級四種路線等級。 另外，登山車活動對林道沿線的土壤、動植物、水資源及烏來地區人文環境都無明顯的破壞與衝擊。建議設置『全國登山自行車推動小組』進行登山車道的規劃與管理，並結合烏來當地自然環境特質及觀光遊憩資源，建設發展成『登山車公園』以吸引更多國內外自行車觀光客帶動地方發展。 The purpose of this study is to understand the capabilities of the developing mountain trails for biking activities in Taiwan by using “Wu Lai Xi Keng” Mountain Trail as an example. According to the popularity of having leisure exercise and the attentions on environment issues in Taiwan’s society, biking has become one of the popular outdoor activities in Taiwan. Currently in Taiwan, most of the biking trails are designed for casual biking only but mountain biking. Regarding to previous research, more and more bikers in Taiwan are looking for high-skill trails in the mountain. Beside, the mountain terrain and the nature forest signage in Taiwan are perfect for mountain biking and wide activities. The result of the study suggest that the future development of mountain biking trails should begin with design the fundamental structures and information system. Also, the trails can be divided into four different levels such as entry level, second level, senior level, and prime level, etc. On the other hand, based the undeveloped environment in “Wu Lai Xi Keng”, the result also suggest to build the “Mountain biking Organization” for not only promoting mountain biking activities but also planning and managing all mountain bike trails in Taiwan. The organization can use Wu Lai Xi Keng as a model to create the first mountain bike park in Taiwan for all mountain bikers. Proceed to the next step, The Mountain Bike Park will not only attract the bikers but also drive more tourists to visit and enjoy the local signage in Taiwan.
