A group of university students will launch a journey all the way across the DMZ by bicycle with a ceremony on Yeouido tomorrow.

The event, which is being supported financially by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, has been organized by two student organizations, Youth and Students Alliance for Human Rights in North Korea and Youth Future Forum.

A group of more than 150 students is expected to travel 218.38km along the DMZ, learning about national security as they take in the sights and sounds of the counties of Goseong, Inje, Yanggu, Hwacheon, Cheorwon and Yeoncheon, and Paju City.

Eagle When the article says this will be a "cross-DMZ ride" or "all the way across the DMZ" it is rather misleading.

The bicyclists will not cross the DMZ at all or the Military Demarcation Line.

They likely will hardly ever be within the DMZ itself, but rather will be on the periphery of the DMZ.

The DMZ itself has no roads for such East West bicycling. 2012-07-18 22:21:26
