Excellent post, it's true, you come to appreciate the countryside close to home as you explore new paths. Nice bike, one day I'll get a MTB, I miss riding dirt tracks.
Thanks. With so many places to explore, I got tired of riding on the busy streets. I recommend getting a good used one first or renting a few nice ones so you know exactly what you want later.
Awesome. There used to be nice bikes in Seoul that the city took care of but they closed and replaced them with junk. If my kids didn't grow so much I would buy them bikes but I know as soon as I buy one they will grow out of it. I'm a little afraid of renting bikes during corona. I would love to ride now. Also an exercise bike would be awesome on a rainy day. You make moving to the suburbs more tempting.
I agree. There used to be places that would rent out great bikes free to residents in Seoul (just not in the most popular han river areas). They also used to fix bikes for free and sell cheap spare parts.
Now the new green and white bikes are all over, but they cost money and are not very good. The worst part is how they brag about it.
Suwon used to have a similar pay one, but now they are opening up these proper shops.
Seoul definitely had better bike paths ~ if they aren't crowded, but I do like the small farm roads and trails best.
Wishing you many hours of happy cycling, exploring the countryside and surrounding regions. Nice healthy way to get around using man-power saving money on public transport.
First bike I learned to ride had no hand brakes nor fancy gears, they were heavy an art to get going. Later ladies bicycles became more available with 3 speed gears and hand brakes, good transport to and from school that was a round trip of about 10 kms.
Here is a !BEER for congratulatory end of day cycle!
I remember when I was young I had a bike that had breaks which worked when pedalling packwards.
With a roundtrip of 10km the bike would definitely be nice. I hope it wasn't too hilly or bumpy.
Haha, thanks you, too. I used to have a similar ride to work (9km return, 4.5 each way), except I lived on top of the hill. Actually I didn't really mind that it was easier getting to work and I don't care if I'm all sweaty when I get home because I can change and shower anyway.

I have a plan to buy a bike but still need time to save my money first.
Great bike for you :)
Thanks. I hope you get a nice bike soon.

We had plenty of hills to climb to school, homeward bound was a breeze mostly downhill.
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your ride.

Suwon City's mascot is the green tree frog...
Best part is the helmets are for adults and kids, but this is east asia, so yeah normal.
Maybe I'll rent one when the pandemic dies down or go into a shop next time I'm in the area where they are and snap a few pics.
