nice to meet someone that's ridden here! I've only driven through Kangwon. The east sea is nice. are you still in korea? I'm west of seoul. Riding in traffic is a little scary here. I ride alone so it makes it twice as bad. But koreans are starting to get more tolerant of bikes. it's kind of weird how EVERYONE has an MTB. They use MTBs as touring bikes even. I've only seen one other guy in my town with a road bike. I'm having to drive 3 hours to get a bike fit and have my bike looked at b/c i can't find and bike shops with much 10 speed experience here.

riding in seoul can be scary but they have a lot of bike paths now. there's a particularly beautiful one that runs the entire length of the han river. you can ride through the whole city using it.
