Finishing 7 Bridges on a folding bike
Great weather, a great route, and good people and atmosphere, but challenging cutoff times for many riders on non-road bikes
Free Busan bike checks on September 30 and October 28 include rear lights
Bring a bicycle to the Oncheonjang Station public rental point on September 30 or October 28 for a free basic check
Sep 28, 2026
The reliably supported service window is 14:00–16:00. Published closing times conflict, so check on the day rather than relying on a later finish.
Bring a bicycle to the Oncheonjang Station public rental point on September 30 or October 28 for a free basic check. Rear lights are available to the first 100 check participants.
What to expect
The service covers a basic bicycle condition check and simple work on items such as brakes and gears. The earlier Geumjeong/operator report says commercial bicycles and expensive bicycles with hydraulic systems are excluded. It also says the service is cancelled in rain and uses walk-up registration on the day.
Published reports do not agree on the closing time: some list 16:00, while another gives 17:00. The shared, reliably supported window is 14:00–16:00. Arrive during that window and check for a day-of notice before making a special trip. The rear lights may run out before the checking service ends.
TL;DR
Free bicycle checks are scheduled for September 30 and October 28, from 14:00 to at least 16:00, at the public bicycle-rental station inside the north public parking lot near Oncheonjang Station Exit 4.
Rear lights will be provided to the first 100 people who take part in a check. This is first come, first served.
