	Overview on off-road cycling in Korea
		Korea is traditionally a mountain nation; Korean hikers are some of the nicest in the world, and seem genuinely interested in mountain bikes and visitors' experiences in the mountain culture.

	Alex’s Recent Korean Mountain Biking Adventures
		Having the three worst mountain biking accidents in my life (the bus was minor) and breaking just about every single part on my bike in brief periods of intense riding.
		Because the road up Namhan is so narrow and tightly winding, it is extremely dangerous to try and ride up it on your bike.
		The result is that in the Yongma photos, I ended up buying a cheap pair of shorts on the way to the mountain from a clothing shop that highlight the massive amounts of sweat generated from riding in 37°C 90% humidity weather with the added benefit of giving the appearance of riding in Bavarian liederhosen.

		To the north is the Namhan River, while to the east, Juknyeong Stream, and the west, Danyang Stream, both of which flow into the Namhan River.
