The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early for briefing
Plan to be 20–30 minutes before departure to get fitted, briefed, and ready; late arrivals may be refused.
Bring small change for markets
Carry a few thousand won for street food at the traditional market stop—cards aren’t always accepted at stalls.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy shoes improve control and comfort during stop‑and‑go city riding and quick sidewalk mounts.

Urban riding exposes you to sun, river breeze, and chill in the morning—pack a water bottle and a light jacket.
