JJB IN SOUTH KOREA: The Hangang River Bike Path 

Wouldn’t that be awesome here, @green archer 77? And with the right facilities, imagine commuters preferring that route to sitting in gridlocked traffic! Wonderful dream. Cheers to you in Cali! 🍻

Hooray! Glad to help bring back the memories! Thank you for the appreciation! Cheers!

Thank you for that! I’m so envious of the infrastructure there @john! Cheers! 🍻

Haha! Isn’t that enough @alain magbual? It has to be fun to be worth it, right? Haha! Cheers! 🍻

Haha @ed velasco! Indeed you do buddy! You get a free beer from me when I see you next😜. Cheers!!🍻

Thank you for the encouragement @gary haynes! And yes it’s a wonderful place to ride your bike! 🍻🎊🎉

Haha! Thank you for the encouragement @cj rodolfo! Cheers! 🍻

Haha! I’m glad you got the humor, @rein mutuc. My sons are my Editors and they sometimes kinda roll their eyes at my Dad Jokes! 🤣 I’m glad you enjoyed the ride. And yes I was lucky to ride there when the weather was still awesome. Cheers! 🍻

@@JohnJohnBIKES Glad to hear that! They're the only jokes that I manage to crack lately. Ahahaha. Cheers!🤙😀

@@reinmutuc8999 hahaha!🤣

Yes! The citizens are so lucky there! And I share that dream for us too @jaime G! Cheers! 🍻

Gamsahabnida X! And Happy Friday! 🎊🎉🍻

Haha! Thanks for the encouragement @memanjali! Cheers! 🍻

Haha! Happy Friday, @bryan San Jose! Cheers!

And absolutely loving it @philpit! Cheers! 🍻

And I wish for that too @meat gaming! Cheers! 🍻

Haha! Yes indeed it was, @dcv! Cheers! 🍻

Thank you for the encouragement! And I don’t know about the 4 rivers tour, but maybe that could be a good reason to return 😜. Cheers! 🍻

@@JohnJohnBIKES Absolutely! It's a 633km ride on much of the bicycling trail/infrastructure that the So. Korean gov't constructed for its people and visitors/tourists. 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. Cheers! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vCG8q9q0GOA.html

@@FlowJunkie65 whoa! sounds like a wonderful adventure indeed!

Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to visit a bike shop there @pauline tan. The only time I was close to one was at the Yangsu Station (see the end of that Episode) and even then I was only outside. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I hope you enjoyed the ride, @solo siklista! Cheers! 🍻

Oh I didn’t know that @tjgato! I guess I’ll just have to visit again! 😜. Cheers! 🍻

merci, @alain pryt!

@jie NiniFranco we at RCCMNL had that made a while back by Rapha Custom when they still provided the custom service. Unfortunately they stopped that service so you cannot buy that anymore. But thank you for asking. Cheers! 🍻

Ohhhh I’d love to ride in Singapore @nel b. Thank be been there many times for business, and I’d love to fly over this time for fun! Cheers!

@@JohnJohnBIKES let me know once you are here. We can do round the island (RTI) around 120km or some fav climbs here. Ride safe as always!

@@nelb.4976 that would be awesome! thank you for the offer

That was the Men’s Room, @marnie torrres. Yours is on the other side. Haha! 😜

Thanks for the encouragement and the offer to ride with you @thoan71! That’s much appreciated! Maybe that only means I’ll have to go back for another vacation in Seoul! 🤣 Cheers! 🍻

@@JohnJohnBIKES Looking forward to it!

are you korean?

@@flowerkenji5320 I'm Filipino po 😄

@@bikechingu I thought you were Korean 😅

Primarily a bike lane @serengetisenora, then there are portions where there is an extra lane for pedestrians but I found those usually near the areas of the on-ramps and off-ramps.

Haha! I noticed that too about the word Hangang! Haha! And yes, all good. But my thoughts are still with the many people in Seoul 🙏🏼

Ooooh now That would be wonderful, @serengetisenora! 🤩 Cheers!

You have to watch out for the Bicycle markings. If none on the road, I would check the sidewalk. More likely than not, you will see it either on the road OR the sidewalk. Either way, they encourage the use of bikes. Cheers!🍻

Haha! Seoul is not flat @jdcp! I learned that the hard way🤣 Cheers! 🍻

@@JohnJohnBIKES i see.. Mukhang nag eenjoy ka dyan sir.. Hahaha...

@@jdcp haha! it’s a great place to ride your bike!

Hahaha! You just made me doublecheck now if I really spelled it correctly 🤣

Oo nga @kumadreYT, siguro kasi weekday ako nag bike dyan? There were cyclists here and there, but not in large groups.

@@JohnJohnBIKES ano maganda sir korea oh sa japan..?

@@JohnJohnBIKES marami din po kapag weekend isa na poa ako doon … safe ride and enjoy po .. punta kayo ara just use kakao map

@@YT-tu7ge hay naku ang hirap pag pilian naman. I love both places, but i haven't biked in Japan with my bike.. yet😜

@@koreanongbungol salamat! oo nga, mas maganda gamitin yung Kakao kaysa Google Maps dyan no? You are so lucky to be biking there! Ingat!

It would be fun to ride with you @ray juan, but I’m no longer there. You will enjoy the city, just be patient with all the climbing you have to do to get around 🤣. PS if you have time you can look at at the other JJB rides in Korea. Hope you have as much fun as I did! Cheers! 🍻

@@JohnJohnBIKES too bad I didn't catch you. I cheched your other videos though, maybe I'll get myself some gpx files like you did to see those routes! Maybe next time. Thanks!

@@rayjuan8133 have good fun!

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 👍🏼 Thank you for appreciating the photos! That is my fave, the one of Vivian under the red bridge.. with the man passing by at just the right moment 🤩
