How it works
Bicycle rental shops near Tumuli Park and along the Hwangnam-daero cycling route charge for pre-existing scratches and damage when bikes are returned, claiming tourists caused the damage during the rental period. Some shops do not conduct a documented pre-rental inspection and rely on the tourist's reluctance to dispute in a foreign language.
