Bas Kragt is a passionate advocate for cycling in South Korea. Originally from the Netherlands – a country where cycling is part of everyday life – he has been based in and around Busan since 2017, exploring the country’s varied terrain on two wheels.

He plays an active role in South Korea’s cycling community, helping to organise events with the Korean Audax Federation (Korea Randonneurs). He also founded Routes Busan, a platform aimed at improving cycling safety and quality in the region, and supports visiting cyclists and expats through the Korea Cycling Community Facebook group.

With his deep local knowledge and enthusiasm for every aspect of the cycling world, Bas is passionate about helping others experience South Korea’s incredible cycling potential – from quiet coastal roads to challenging mountain climbs.

You might also recognise Bas from our social media community, as Bas supports Epic Road Rides with this.
