Seoraksan National Park (설악산국립공원) is my favorite place to ride in Korea throughout all seasons, so I have put some info together for those of you who want to head that way for a weekend. The mountainous terrain provides great views when going down the windy roads and also great distraction when going up them. [...]

I’ve been thinking a bike stand for touring for a long time and was doing some research as to which would be suitable for a loaded bike when I came across Click-Stand. “They claimed to be The World’s Only Folding Portable Bicycle Stand,” so I thought it would be worth looking into. At first I [...]

My few days of summer vacation have finally arrived so I’m taking off on a 4 day solo trip in the Southern mountains and West Coast of South Korea. First things first, gear. What am I taking on this trip? Before I get into an extensive list of what I am taking I’d likely to [...]

Ever wondered where all those small river bike paths that join the Han start from or end up? Now you don’t have too. You might have seen the Korean symbols 자전거 along the Han river path. This is the word for bike in Korean, pronounced Ja-Jeon-Geo. The same symbols can also be found on the [...]

The hills and mountains in the Chuncheon area provide great mountain rides. If you are looking for a challenging route, but not so much that you won’t make it home in time for dinner, I would suggest this 100km route and if it’s not challenging enough you can add an extra 20 km around the [...]

This July a there have been quite a few members of the local riding club “The Han River Riders” out and about throughout the country side, one of whom was Alex. His plan was to buy a touring bike and head down the coast from Seoul before catching a ferry back to Jeju. Alex ended [...]

Obviously if you are using a smart phone you can look up your google map any time. So why use a GPS? Smart phone battery life has simply not advanced as quickly as most would like. I find that my Android phone is out of juice within a day. Ok for short rides but no [...]

Over the last couple of weeks I have been out bright and early with Michael Kim and Katie Tibbetts to beat the Korean summer heat/humidity. Michael, affectionately known to us as “Rabbit” lives up to his nickname as we play a grueling game of chase over Namhansanseong (남한산성 363m) and into the rolling hills near [...]

Welcome to Part 3 – “Adding Details” of creating Korean cycle routes. In this section I am going to cover “looking over the route, marking hill climbs, using Korean websites Daum and Naver, and adding alternate routes. Previously on “Creating Korean Cycle Routes” Part 1 – Choosing a Place to Ride Part 2 – Creating [...]
