Οι καλύτερες ποδηλατικές διαδρομές στη Βόρεια Κορέα

Since it is a Jangari riding, it is necessary to secure snacks and water

Premium outlet, stocking VOID & Fizik and SIDI. There is also an attached coffee counter with outside seating. This is a good stop off on Han River loops, or routes returning or going to / through Goyang or Paju. Already added as a Road Cycling Highlight.

From the 행주 (Seoul side) take care, as the path finishes rather suddenly and there are stairs descending into the tunnel. Additionally, approaching from the 일산/고양 side, there is fencing that looks like construction and the path appears to pass under the fence as if renovation is taking place. During summer when grass and other greenery is in full growth you might completely miss the obscured tunnel entrance on the right, as I did the very first time coming this way.

Northbound section of the bridge is great for catching morning sunrise depending on conditions and season. On a clear day you can see not only nearby Banghwa Bridge but also Yeouido, downtown Seoul and both Gwanaksan & Cheonggyesan mountains. WARNING: Please take care bridge crossing is very narrow and can often capture debris and rubbish from heavy traffic across the bridge. It also operates in one direction only per side, Northbound on Seoul side and Southbound on Goyang side.

The Haengju Bridge crosses the Han River in South Korea and connects the city of Goyang and the district of Gangseo-gu. The bridge was first completed in 1978, but the bridge was very narrow and could not handle the increased traffic as the neighboring cities of Ilsan and Bucheon experienced housing booms. Construction of the second bridge (called the New Haengju Bridge) adjacent to the original began in October 1987. During construction in 1992, the new bridge collapsed. Repairs took three more years, and the bridge opened in 1995. Construction on a third bridge began in the space between the first and the second in 1996 and finished in December 2000. With the completion of the third bridge, the first bridge was closed. Currently, the second bridge handles southward traffic and the third bridge handles northward traffic.

Favourite coffee shop in the area, there are others, I just stopped here one day and it was peaceful. Away from the main road and you can ”bike spot” while riders come around the bend. The shop itself is, unfortunately, a little overpriced for my liking but it's probably just indicative of a foreign cycling brand retailing in Korea rather than this individual location. Anyway, I am here for the coffee only! :)
