I'm sure you know the way to the twin bridges from Sha Tin and Ma On Shan very well.
This time we start right at the twin bridges! When you have a moment, sitting there at dusk is a very good choice.

A meeting point for bikes is bound to be busy, with plenty of people and plenty of bikes. Don't ride side by side. Unless you are overtaking, keep left at all times.

This route passes two slopes where accidents often happen. Check that the brakes are working properly before you set off.
Uphill or down, don't stop suddenly, and don't stop inside a tunnel, or you may have an accident.

After Science Park there are quite a few junctions. This time we turn in at the Fo Yin Road junction. You pass quite a few private housing estates along the way.
Apart from partner estates, don't park the bike inside.

Pok Yin Road has a cycle track on only one side, so follow the cycle track under the bridge and up the slope.

You may not know that Yau King Lane was once the East Rail alignment. On 4 June 1988 a freight wagon derailed. In 1995 the sharp bend was straightened into today's alignment. Between the east end of Yau King Lane and Cheung Tai Road you can still find the abandoned railway arch bridge.

The building on the right of the photo is Lung Ha Ching Yuen, which gives you an idea of where the tracks used to run. (photo from the web)

Yau King Lane is a training hotspot for keen cyclists, but for everyone's safety we don't recommend riding a LocoBike on the Yau King Lane road.
