Does anyone know of any? I've been keeping an eye out but haven't noticed any. Oh, I mean the pedal kind of bike.
I'm hoping to find a place I can take my bike into and get a wee tire pump, brakes tightened, chain lubricated. Or at least buy the stuff to do it myself.
Do bike shops generally help you out in this way? The shop in my old area used to, but that's possibly because I bought the bike from there.
Anyway, if anyone knows of a shop, that's a good start for me. Cheers. |

| I have been around that area (walking and cycling) for five years and never come across a bike shop. |

Riding a bicycle is more of a recreational thing and I'm guessing bicycle stores can't afford the space and don't have many clients.
You need to be outside of central Seoul near local shops and apartments. |

yeah, there's a lot of stuff near yongsan.
here's a link to some bike shops that the local mountain biking crew use:

my personal favorite shop is out in donong, east of guri one stop. the shop owner, bob, is a great guy and will give you free lifetime service on the bike. though, if you live nowhere near him then it'd prove to be more of a nuisance than anything. :/ |
