Rail Biking in Yang Pyung, Korea

Have you ever tried rail biking? It is a new leisure sport where 4 riders pedal in tandem along a railway. The back two riders are seated on a higher level while the two in front are on a lower level.

To save energy, we were told that the front bikers should pedal up to a count of 30 after which the back bikers continue for another thirty counts. Then the front bikers take over once more.

It was an exhilarating experience, pedaling as fast as we could while counting and we curved round the railway line as it made its way through the scenic countryside.

When a tunnel loomed in the distance, I was wondering how we would see in the dark.

However, it was prettily lit by artificial, lighted trees and we breezed through effortlessly.

When we came to the end, there was a roundtable on the rail track and our bikes were turned around by the guy who had gone ahead of us in a little bubble car with the word ‘Police’ on its side.

When all of us ( 5 sets of bikes ) arrived, the little car gave us a push back to the beginning where we had pedaled from. This way we were not overtired.

This was truly a most enjoyable outing for me, my significant other and my lovely daughter. Nothing can beat the feeling of the cold wind streaming into your face as you pedal along, savoring the beautiful vistas along the way. God is truly great, creating such a beautiful world for us to appreciate and enjoy.
