South Korea has an amazing ~700km bike trail that goes from Seoul in the North West of the country to Busan in the South East. I rode this in May 2025 and was blown away by the cycling infrastructure. Probably 90% of this route was on cycle-specific paths with countless convenience stores, ample bathrooms, and endless motel options.
