Far away from home, but mounted a camera on the Seoul Bike (think Hubway). Had to register on a website, link a "T-money" card to the account, give a credit card, but a week's worth of bike share is 3,000 won (about 3 dollars). Since I registered with English preference, the bike menus (and audio cues) were in English!
BUT, the bike needs a far longer seat post. Still, for 10K to 20K, great way to get around the city. First ride was just 10K along the Han River (think Charles, but HUGE).
Headed across the Banpo bridge, famous for the evening "rainbow" fountain.
A bit of a bike traffic jam heading up the "hill" on the bridge:
Then on a weekday afternoon, quiet: (Note, the lower bridge floods during rainy season. The upper bridge is a near perpetual motor traffic jam.)
Crossing back across the Hangang bridge - note that the bikepath is separate from the sidewalk, but on the right side of the guardrail. (Imagine the BU Bridge, Harvard Bridge, Longfellow Bridge, where bikes are put on the other side of the guardrail, taking away plan b):
Along the Han River. The Han River is much much bigger than the Charles, and everything you see is flooded during the rainy season, but just imagine:
Soldiers relaxing in the shade under the Dongjak Bridge:
About to check-in the bike to the station:
