You've gotta rent yourself a bike on the Han! So much fun! I went out with Danielle and a few friends this past Sunday to Ttukseom Resort (puke greenish brown line 7). There's a bike rental place right outside of the station in the park. It cost us ₩7,000 each for three hours. We ended up in Gyeonggi, just east of Seoul. It was so great to get out of the city and see things like trees, grass, dirt...
One piece of advice though- I got a very feminine one speed bike. Big mistake. Not because I looked super fruity but because it's a pain in the ass to get up a hill. It was actually impossible at some points. I had to walk it. So, my advice is this- When they offer you either a more-than-one speed bike or a one speed bike, don't get the one that makes for a slightly homo-erotic photo on your blog. Go for the mountain bike. You won't look as comically flamboyant, but your buns and thighs will thank you later.
Get out to Ttukseom Resort. It's not really a resort... It's a park. Get a bike. Ride it. It's super smooth other than a few inclines. There's plenty of 7-11's if you stay on the river. They all have water, ramyan and beer.
Enjoy yourself. Let me know how it goes.
