Quick ride by bicycle from Gwangmyeong to Anyang-si

This ride takes you from Gwangmyeong down to Anyang-si, threading through the city’s lesser-known bike paths and some very chill roads. You’ll cover just under 20 kilometers—perfect for a leisurely afternoon escape or a quick weekend spin. The route’s got a gentle ascent of about 135 meters, but nothing too punishing, so it stays approachable for most cyclists.

You’ll mostly be on dedicated cycleways (about 75% of the journey!), with just a couple of quiet roads connecting the dots. Surfaces are a mixed bag: some smooth concrete, but a good chunk is unclassified—expect a bit of adventure, especially after a rain. No high-speed traffic zones, so you can take in the surroundings without dodging a convoy of cars.

Gwangmyeong is famous for its huge cave (now an underground theme park and art space!), while Anyang-si is known for its lovely streams and parks. The finish is a great place to unwind, maybe grab a coffee by the river. A mellow city-to-city ride with just enough variety to keep things interesting!
