About
Hi, I'm walker.oh — a 40-something who commutes by bike from Ilsan to Sangam-dong in Seoul. I'm no expert; I just love riding, running, wandering off, and tinkering with gear, so I write it all down.
Mornings I fold and unfold a Brompton along the Han River. Weekends I lace up running shoes or shoulder a backpack for the mountains. Sometimes I toss the bike in the trunk of a 4 Gran Coupé and head somewhere far. I buy a bit too much gear… and then regret it ^^;
What you'll find here
- Brompton & minivelo — real-world reviews, lightweight/gear-ratio/dress-up tuning, bike commuting
- Cycling near Seoul — Han River, Bukhan River, Anyangcheon routes, night rides, long distance
- Running — Sangam and Ilsan Lake Park routes, steady running in my 40s
- Hiking & backpacking — ridge traverses, minimal gear, beginner tips
- Camping & travel — wild camping, trips like Hokkaido (Sapporo, Otaru)
- Gear reviews — Garmin watches, bone-conduction earphones, honest month-long use
I'd rather give you an honest review of something I bought and used for a long time than an ad. If it helps someone facing the same choice, that's enough.
I write in Korean but translate into English and Japanese too. If you share the same hobbies, you're welcome here from anywhere.
