Biking the Han River - Seoul
The Han River flows through the middle of Seoul, and is an excellent place to ride bicycles. It is fed by dozens of smaller streams, which are also great for bike riding. All along both sides of the river, the city has built a huge narrow park, with everything from swimming pools to inline skate tracks.
Not only is it a very enjoyable and scenic place to bike, because of it's central location and great access to the subway system it is also a very practical and easy way to get around the city.
Biking the Tancheon Stream - South Korea
The Tancheon is a stream that begins in Yongin-si, south of Seoul, and runs north through Bundang for nearly 36 km, until it empties into the Han River near Jamsil Station. It provides residents of Yongin and the surrounding neighborhoods with excellent bike access into Seoul, as well as a nice place to escape the city and enjoy nature for a bit. The Tancheon is easily accessible from nearly all of the subway stations along the Bundang subway line.
