Gwangju City to Resume Operation of Riverside Bicycle Hub Terminal from September 5

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] The Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 28th that it will operate a total of 8 key bicycle terminals located along the Gwangju Stream and Yeongsan River bicycle paths, including 5 'Riverside Bicycle Key Terminals' (hereafter 'key terminals') that were suspended during the peak summer heat, starting from the 5th of next month.

The key terminals utilize the space under bridges to provide services to citizens using bicycles, such as free bicycle maintenance, public bicycle rentals, and bicycle path guidance.

Each key terminal will have 2 bicycle experts assigned and will operate every Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. until the end of November.

The key terminals are located at three sites along the Gwangju Stream: Yongsan Bridge, Jungang Bridge, and Dongcheon Bridge; and five sites along the Yeongsan River: Cheomdan Bridge, Eodeungdae Bridge, Sandong Bridge, Geungnak Bridge, and Seungchonbo. Among these, public bicycles can be rented at five key terminals: Jungang Bridge, Dongcheon Bridge, Cheomdan Bridge, Eodeungdae Bridge, and Sandong Bridge.

Last year, 24,460 bicycles received free maintenance, gaining positive responses from users of the bicycle paths along Gwangju Stream and Yeongsan River.

Im Nam-jin, Director of the City Road Division, said, “Despite COVID-19, we will strive to help citizens and bicycle users continue to use the riverside bicycle paths without disruption.”
