I am still trying to find the answer for Road bike and bus chartering in Malaysia. To be precise, how do I book and pack my road bike into a bus, and what is the bus policy for road bikes? As we cycle further into Malaysia and beyond, there comes a moment when you need a bus or coach for part of the journey. Interestingly, no one knows the SOP for bringing a road bike on board a bus. It seems like a hit and miss thingy. Some common queries from fellow cyclists: -Does bus companies allow road bikes in the first place? [foldies normally no issue, smaller footprint] -If yes, how many road bik ..read more

Day 2 of Bikepacking 4 Rivers brought me through the heart of Seoul. Take note that this is a detour from the main “Four Rivers” trail. Refer custom Google Map‘s red icons for more clarity (or confusion :p ) Day 2 – 4 Rivers trail Seoul to Yeoju Refer picture below. I had purposely detoured because I wanted to explore some famous attractions in downtown Seoul on two wheels. Kakao Map and Naver Map will likely ask you to cycle on BUSY pedestrian foot paths.  And Seoul is packed with folks! You are unlikely to cycle faster than 15kmh on the pavements. If confident, go on the roads ..read more

Bikepacking Seoul to Busan took me 7D6N. In my first post, I had shared about the logistics of bike boxing, and cycling out of Incheon Airport to Ara West. As mentioned in my first blog post, it is almost 80km from Airport to Seoul (Hongdae). That would be easily 5 hours on the road, do buffer enough time to reach your motel earlier. I only pre-book a motel for the first night, the other nights are all walk in. It is very discomforting for me, as I was worried about room and motel availability. Many folks have done it, you are safe.   Bikepacking Seoul to Busan Breakdown of my Four R ..read more
