When Winter Envies Spring | A Solo Brompton Ride Through SEOUL Cherry Blossoms ( Episode : 2)

Watch more solo hiking and cycling videos here / @pedal2wander "Kkot-saem-chu-wi" (꽃샘추위)—a Korean expression meaning "the winter that envies the arrival of spring." It is that sudden, lingering chill that arrives just as the flowers begin to bloom. On this solo 55km Brompton ride from Anyangcheon to Seoul, I realized that this weather exists within me, too. Despite the many blessings in my life, I often feel a subtle undercurrent of dissatisfaction—an inner winter trying to pull me back to old, familiar routines. I didn't ride to escape these feelings, but to observe them. As I cooked a simple meal by the river and watched the cherry blossoms, I realized that nature doesn't resist the change of seasons. Perhaps being human isn't about choosing between the cold and the warmth, but learning to hold both at once. '꽃이 피는 것을 시샘하는 추위', 꽃샘추위. 안양천에서 서울 석촌호수까지 이어지는 55km의 브롬톤 솔로 라이딩을 다녀왔습니다. 흐드러지게 피어난 벚꽃길을 달리며, 문득 제 안에도 꽃샘추위가 머물고 있다는 것을 깨달았습니다. 분명 감사한 삶인데도 자꾸만 나를 끌어당기는 내면의 관성과 이유 모를 공허함. 이번 라이딩은 그 부정적인 감정으로부터 도망치기 위함이 아니었습니다. 그저 그 감정을 있는 그대로 바라보고, 함께 달려보기 위함이었습니다. 강가에서 소박한 파스타를 만들어 먹고 비둘기들에게 모이를 주며 깨달았습니다. 자연은 계절을 거부하지 않듯, 우리도 내면의 추위와 봄의 따스함을 동시에 품으며 살아가는 것이 아닐까 하고요. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 | Chapter 1: Intro — The Philosophy of 꽃샘추위 02:42 | Chapter 2: Anyangcheon — Sensing the Inner Resistance 05:10 | Chapter 3: Riverside Rest — Cooking Pasta & Feeding Pigeons 10:40 | Chapter 4: Yeouido Han River — Moving with the Rhythm 13:10 | Chapter 5: Towards Seokcheon Lake — The Peak of Spring Colors 14:45 | Chapter 6: Outro — Learning to Hold Both Seasons 📍 Locations Start: Gunpo / Anyangcheon Stream (군포 / 안양천) Mid-point: Yeouido Han River Park (여의도 한강공원) End: Seokcheon Lake, Jamsil (잠실 석촌호수) 🚲 Gear & Equipment Bike: Brompton Folding Bike (Explore Edition) Bag: Brompton Game Bag / Borough Bag Cooking: Ultralight Camping Stove & Portable Pot Camera: DJI Osmo Nano & DJI neo 2 drone #Brompton #꽃샘추위 #CherryBlossom #SeoulCycling #브롬톤 #벚꽃라이딩 #자전거여행 #사색 Brompton Bicycle, Solo Cycling Korea, Anyangcheon Cherry Blossoms, Seokcheon Lake, Han River Riding, Mindful Travel, Outdoor Cooking, Bicycle Vlog, Small Wheel Bike, Spring in Seoul, Healing Vlog, 브롬톤 라이딩, 서울 자전거 코스, 안양천 벚꽃, 석촌호수 벚꽃, 한강 자전거길, 자전거 캠핑, 미니벨로, 마음공부, 일상 브이로그 If you find it interesting, here is the winter solo ride towards SEOUL    • Solo Brompton Cycling in Korea -8°C 🇰🇷 |  ...   Music: The Journey Home by Tokyo Music Walker   / user-356546060   License: Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://www.audiolibrary.com.co/tokyo...
