Busan's first Slow Triathlon included a 46 km cycling leg from Hwamyeong Ecological Park toward Yangsan Wondong, putting the Nakdong corridor at the center of the event
The event is over, but it shows Busan using the Nakdong corridor for longer public cycling events.
Busan's first Slow Triathlon included a 46 km cycling leg from Hwamyeong Ecological Park toward Yangsan Wondong, putting the Nakdong corridor at the center of the event.
Busan said its first Slow Triathlon used Hwamyeong Ecological Park as the base, with a cycling leg of about 46 km toward Yangsan Wondong.
That choice makes sense. The Nakdong corridor is one of the few places near Busan where a longer public ride can keep some shape without instantly falling apart into crossings and tight city edges.
Busan used the Hwamyeong-Wondong direction for a longer public cycling leg. There are not many places near the city where an event like this can avoid being split up by traffic almost immediately.
There is a difference between "used for an event" and "pleasant every Sunday."
Sensible corridor. Still not magic.
