Bicycle in Korea is not really expensive. Sometimes, you can get it for free by subscribing to some phone plans offered by the mobile phone companies. Since I already have a mobile, subscribing to another phone plan is not on my mind.
A mobile phone shop that is offering free bicycle
166,280 Won (RM 464 or USD 154!)
However, mobile charges in Korea can be really expensive when compared to Malaysia. In fact, sometimes if I did not use my mobile for a month, I can already buy a brand new bicycle.
In Korea, the staffs in the shop will always "pester" the customers to change to the latest smartphone with new mobile plans once in a while because the competition among mobile phone operators is really stiff.
Nevertheless, it's always better to do healthy sports than spending time with your darling mobile phone.
