Cycle Touring South Korea - 4 Rivers Cycle Trail

[@RickRolling-tc7vb]

You're a born adventurer, I'm sure of it. Thanks Steve, always entertaining and inspirational. Not keen on the YT algorithm showing me so much garbage when this should be at the top of my list every time. Good stuff, keep it up.

[@mongreldogproductions]

Thanks for the positive feedback. Glad you enjoy the Adventure(s). Thanks for watching.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Well, this is a treat. Another excellent adventure in progress.

[@pinksquirrel007]

I have always wanted to do that trial when I lived in South Korea... Enjoy your time!!!

[@radadventure2606]

Very interesting trip, Steve. I look forward to the next episide!

[@mongreldogproductions]

Thanks for watching, next upload in a few days.

Pleasantly surprised for your ADV in South Korea. I saw Grizzly'n Bear's visit and thought it was really nice. Maybe gets overlooked because of Japan.

[@mongreldogproductions]

Japan was only a short Ferry ride away…I might tour that in the future. Thanks for watching.

[@PaulQuinn-me2nn]

Thanks Steve for sharing your holiday with us. Looks a challenge from all directions, good luck on those hills!

[@mongreldogproductions]

Thanks 👍

Steve, I've lived up here in northern asia for 20+ years and these type of hotels are the norm up here as real estate is dense never have I heard a visitor represent these type of hotels as elequant as you have your a legend mate. I rode almost the exact same route as your doing now 15 years ago on my mountain bike in an effort to raise money for the japanese childrens cancer association we rode from seoul to busan, then took a ferry to kobe in japan and the finished in osaka. really looking forward to this series mate 🙏👍

[@mongreldogproductions]

Wow, what a great effort for a worthy cause. I'm enjoying the tour, thanks for watching.

[@BIGWILLYAUS]

LOL Excellent work 👍Very entertaining content.

[@mongreldogproductions]

@@BIGWILLYAUS Thank you. 🙏

[@nbrettoner]

Thanks Steve, The bus sounds a wise move. What an interesting cultural shift. I feel a peace in the midst of all the mass of people and density of city space. But the country and that cycle track (together with your choice of backing track music) paints a beautiful picture. Looking forward to your next video on Sth Korea. 🙃🤠

[@mongreldogproductions]

Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching. 😀

Hi Frank, you gunna have to help me here…whose Danny?

[@frankmorris2603]

@mongreldogproductions MDB. Million Dollar Bogan. Respect for your bravery Steve. My first reply disappeared. Hopefully I'm not doubling up.

[@mongreldogproductions]

@@frankmorris2603 Does MDB Cycle Tour??? Dont have to be brave to do what I do...just a little bit Loopy. 😂😂😂

@@frankmorris2603 Hi Frank, I had to look up the definition of mercurial…it doesn’t sound like we have too much in common. Thanks for watching. 😀

Hi, when I go to Fiji, I always get my teeth fixed up last time I was over there. I had to get two teeth taken out and a major filling, and it cost me $72 Australian cost you that just to walk through the door and the dentist in Australia and the good thing about all of dentists in Fiji are all Australian and New Zealand trained

[@mongreldogproductions]

Yeah, don’t blame you. I wouldn’t go overseas just for dental treatment but if I am overseas, and I need work done, then I’ll happily let anyone have a go. The dentist in Korea was trained in the US. Thanks for watching.

[@jameswebb3000]

Merry Xmas to you

[@mongreldogproductions]

@@jameswebb3000 Thank you, and back at ya! 😀

[@secdetau]

Steve you'll find most Korean cemeteries are on the slopes of hills. If you see a hill with lots of white posts it probably a cemetery.

[@mongreldogproductions]

Thanks for that, I checked with Google and apparently Cremations are also popular. I know the Chinese like to be facing East to greet the morning sun. Thanks for watching.

[@secdetau]

​@@mongreldogproductions no worries it's always a great treat watching your videos. An for once you didn't sleep like a dog 😆😆

[@grahamglencorse307]

Thanks Steve, that last hill at the end had me feeling for you! What happened to the bus ride over the big hills? Lennie Beadell would be proud of you mate.

[@mongreldogproductions]

@@grahamglencorse307 I did take the bus over two steep climbs. This hill I couldn’t avoid unfortunately. I knew it was coming. 😞

[@MiniLuv-1984]

I'm beginning to see a pattern here..since S Korea, have you gone for a "bike ride" in Syria? Leaders keep dropping off where ever you go. Here's a thought - go for a ride in Australia? Might do us all some good. I reckon the $10 bus was a great idea - far cheaper than buying an e-bike, though it looks like an e-bike may have been a good idea judging from next weeks previews. Really do enjoy your videos, thanks.

[@mongreldogproductions]

I was gunna go to the DMZ and fly my drone but decided against it. I do enjoy touring by E-Bike but unfortunately the airlines won't allow the battery on board (too many amps/Whrs or whatever the term is). Glad you enjoy the Channel content. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@MiniLuv-1984]

@@mongreldogproductions My pleasure Steve.

[@glennpettersson9002]

Compared to some of your recent adventures the infrastructure looks fantastic.

[@mongreldogproductions]

Yep, tunnels and long bridges made for easy transit (in most cases), but there were still some surprises. The high-density housing is on a scale I've never seen before. At least I was off the ground and not sleeping like a dog. 😀

[@GCM_AU]

WtF wheres the fridge Ramp .. lol!

[@grahameroberts8109]

Hi Steve. Your trip looks interesting so far. Are you on battery or was it not permitted on the plane? I found your ‘liquorice all-sorts’ room fascinating but I guess it’s fit for purpose. Thanks for the great drone shots and general videography. I’m looking forward to the next segment. 🚴🚵👍🏻🙏🦘

[@mongreldogproductions]

The airlines won't move the battery...too big. I didn't find that out until after I bought the bike so it's back to basics for this trip. Pity, the ebike would've been helpful on some of the steeper climbs.

[@johnzee691]

another thing about Bob trailers, standing up off the saddle pedaling isn't all that easy. just sit and push thru. hope you had the gearing. it doesn't appear your on your son's ebike, so your pedaling 100%. 😎👍

[@mongreldogproductions]

Yeah, just me doing all the work. Airlines won’t allow a battery that size on the aircraft. 😞

[@johnstaring3210]

Interesting Steve. How is the Korean coffee ?

[@mongreldogproductions]

Ámericano' seemed to be popular which was just a long black. I dont think people visit Korea for the cuisine. 😀

[@phillipdean9879]

Thanks for taking us along Steve! Looks an interesting country. Did you feel safe? Food ok? Where did you leave your bike when you stayed in the motels? Locked up? Bring on ep 2! 🍺🍺

[@mongreldogproductions]

@@phillipdean9879 Safe, very much so. A very honest and polite society. I trust no one and are very mindful of security so I would continue to lock up my bike and trailer even if I was only a few metres away. Most times to bike was secured in motel car parks or in the room if i felt a little uneasy about the local environment. The food was ok although you don’t go to Korea for the cuisine. Next vid out in a few days. 😀

2 spokes up for a good South Korean ride"

[@johnninness7049]

Definitely the wrong hat mate and you haven't got 1200 CC's only either all the best on this trip hope things go yeah very well for you the main thing is that you have to enjoy it not me
