100 participants to be selected; bicycle maintenance class among planned activities
The Seoul Metropolitan Sports Council will hold a public riding event and bicycle experience program at 10 a.m. on Nov. 14 to mark the completion of the Jamsil Han River cycling facility.
Built by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and operated by the Seoul Metropolitan Sports Council, the Jamsil Han River cycling facility offers services including bicycle maintenance, basic first aid and changing rooms. It also serves as a gathering space for cyclists.
Applications to join the riding event will be accepted on the Seoul Metropolitan Sports Council's website from Friday through Wednesday, with 100 participants selected at random. A bicycle maintenance class and a bicycle-powered electricity generation experience will also be held at the venue.
The Seoul Metropolitan Sports Council plans to hold a separate event at the Ttukseom Han River cycling facility, which is scheduled for completion in mid-November.
"We hope the Han River cycling facilities will provide the services cyclists need and become a hub where riders can connect with one another," council Chairman Kang Tae-sun said.
