    Fantastic video😊😊😊 Till last year I worked at Yeoi-do in front of Mapo-bridge, so every evening I cycled on the Hangang bike path. I remembered riding at hangang.

    Could you imagine if only Manila could have a bike path like that. Maybe Luneta through the coastline of Manila Bay to Cavite City. Cycling is more fun riding on bike paths like that. More safer and enjoyable without the traffic. Another great ride John John. Cheers from Cali 🍻

    Every single bridge in Seoul is bike/pedestrian friendly, finding a way up from the han path can sometimes be hard, but you can always cross it.

It starts in Seoul (NW) and roughly follows the path of 4 rivers to Busan (SE). There are a lot of YT vids on this ride, this is one of them that's pretty nice.

    So you enter a toilet and suddenly "end of part 1", lol....Just shows how our country is so lagging behind our neighbors in terms of infrastructure. Super cool pic u took under the bridge, with Vivian and that passing guy on a bike. The bike path although nice, doesnt seem to be very conducive for group rides, plus the 20 kmh makes it more a leisure ride. By the way, aren't you supposed to waive or say hi to fellow cyclists 😃? cheers JJ !

    • @JohnJohnBIKES
      @JohnJohnBIKES  2 роки тому

      Yes!! That’s what I noticed too, @tony air! I’m very used to happily greeting cyclists that you meet on the roads, or pass, or that pass you! But it seems that isn’t the cycling culture there. At least from what I observed. At times it even felt that I was intruding their space with a greeting, even with just a quick wave. So I decided that ummm When In Rome… 🤐.
      But still you could tell naman that there was a quiet respect for each other, all around 👍🏼
