How to Get There
The Ara Bike Path runs through the north edge of Incheon Metropolitan City, Korea’s third largest city. Its location offers bike riders three terrific options to get to the cycling course.
Subway
Are you in Seoul or Incheon? Do you need to get to the Ara West Sea Lock, the start of the Ara Bike Path and Cross-Country Route? While restricted, subways can help you get there.
Airport Express
The Airport Express (AREX) is a commuter train that travels from Incheon International Airport to Seoul Station in the middle of the capital. Its tracks run parallel to two-thirds of the Ara Bike Path.
The AREX has two important restrictions for passengers carrying full-size bicycles:
- The AREX (Airport Railroad) does not allow passengers with bicycles on weekdays.
- Passengers can ride the AREX on weekends if they register in advance on their website. Capacity is limited. First come, first serve.
- Passengers with folding bikes can ride any day of the week without reservation.
These three AREX stations sit closest to the Ara Bike Path.
- Geomam Station | 8.4 km from the start | 750 m from path
- Gyeyang Station | 14.8 km from the start | 750 m from path
- Cheongna International City Station | 3.6 km from the start | 3.6 km from path
