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 (아라서해갑문; map), 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 (인천국제공항; map) to Seoul Station (서울역; map) in the middle of the capital. Its tracks run parallel to two-thirds of the Ara Bike Path.
The AREX has important restrictions for passengers carrying full-size bicycles:
- As of Jan. 2026, assembled (non-folding) bikes aren’t accepted.
- A folding bike is allowed only when folded.
- If your bike is packed in a travel case/bag, AREX treats it as luggage only if it fits the size/weight limits.
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
