Oh yeah Im very familiar with that route. I grew up in Stanley but have never once cycled around.
My grandad would always complain about cyclist slowing down the minibus from him getting to his early morning dim sums.
That kinda of route I'd do on my roadie.
I was thinking more of a Brompton, getting around and all. Mostly around central, causeway bay etc.

Brompton is ideal, you’d be able to take it out to Sha Tin on the train and do the new route to Yueng Long quite easily and use it around town easier than something full size. There was a bloke in Stanley who would take his Brompton into town on the bus each day to use as a get around then bus it back to Stanley each evening. I’d often see him on the 260 as I settled into my latest Netflix/iPlayer download.

Commuting on bike although sound good in hk the heat and hills make it horrible. A Brompton would be good if you just heading too and from a ferry route or mini bus.
I loved cycling in Hong Kong just not commuting. Only a few times had clashes with taxis and minibus drivers. Other road users were generally good.
Also generally bikes were safe being locked up compared to city's in the UK.Also mention for the mings cafe in shek o good coffee and a great egg bap

Trams are ace, did the whole east west route once (Jan 2022). Best 26p I ever spent.
Green minibuses are fun, especially if you get south side on the windy roads. Lots of wannabe rally drivers do that job.
Red minibuses are more fun though, there’s a long haired guy who does the route to big wave bay, total maniac.
The roads these drivers hoon around are also the roads you’ll want to cycle on and they have little regard for you when they come up in you.
Here’s the road along the south side of the island, it’s a beauty. https://fulgaz.com/fulgaz-rides/?fg_ride=ee131c0145adf8d164180613
