That is some impressive cycling infrastructure. Looks to be in good shape, and well used. Thanks for posting.

I have been to S. Korea twice, and very much enjoyed it. Went on a number of day trips on bicycles -- lots of fun!

I lived in Seoul for several years and rode the paths a lot. The rides on the Han, and Puk Han are great. Loved going along the Ara canal and back (65 miles or so), and to ChunCheon and take the train back in the cars that had bike racks. I also did the Seoul - Pusan ride and got the certificate and medal and that was a momentous ride for a 63 year old. I miss Korea a lot, enjoy the rides.

Nicest bicycle paths I have ever seen! Much better than any bicycle paths in Washington DC.

I love the ride past Paldong Dam to YangPyong. Beautiful tunnels. For those of you who don't know, the old narrow guage railroad lines were national rail systems. Those routes were turned into bike path across Korea. Climbs are gradual as the old steam couldn't climb steep grades. The tunnels along the routes are there to ride through. The old stations were turned into restaurants, coffee shops and break areas. I really miss riding in Korea, it is great.
