NORTH KOREA | CYCLING THROUGH THE STREETS OF PYONGYANG

- It could be said that Pyongyang City is a comfortable city for cyclists, many Pyongyang people use bicycles as the main means of transportation for short to long distances. In this video, I take you to enjoy the atmosphere of Pyongyang city in winter, by cycling. Thank you and happy watching.
On Wikipedia, it is written that cycling cycling has become a common mode of transport in North Korea since its economic transition in the early 1990s.
A ban on bicycles in the country's capital and largest city, Pyongyang, in existence for decades, was suddenly lifted in 1992, and according to Andrei Lankov, bicycles have since "proliferated" and their use has "visibly increased" in other urban areas. However, their price, meager by international standards, still puts them out of reach of a significant portion of the populace.[1] A modest infrastructure, including bicycle lanes and bicycle parking, has likewise developed.[3] Foreign and domestic bicycles are available, with used Japanese models particularly coveted.
Cyclists must reportedly obtain a license by passing a road safety test, and must register bicycles and display a corresponding tag as proof, though the law is often flouted outside the capital. Conflicting reports exist that women are, or have been, banned from riding bicycles, with some claiming the ban to be a personal edict of Kim Jong-il; however, female cyclists are a common sight in North Korea's large cities, indicating this law, too, if it ever existed, is widely ignored.

Reminds me of open world games like gta 3 and San Andreas. Where you had this massive world and city to explore, but the limitations of the hardware of the time only allowed a handful of npcs to load in at any one time💀😭😂

@@gotchewz Totally. They also had limited textures
Yes! Also reminds me of a great city that we should emulate. Public transit would be such an amazing answer to all of our problems in the west.

귀한영상 감사합니다
based on the background highrise building being in a stage of construction in 4:06, which through satellite data I gathered had foundations laid after 2015 and completed in 2017, this video must have been filmed back then meaning this would've been short of a decade ago. I wish the uploader would write the date for the video for our information, don't get me wrong this is an incredibly valuable record of Pyongyang which no one would be able to gain access to since it has changed so much since. look forward to seeing more!
indeed, nk isnt open right now yet i still see so many vlog style videos coming out without dates!
Most diplomats were recalled back to their countries during COVID with a few exceptions. I believe your assertions on the timeline are correct and that the uploader has not returned to Pyongyang since pre-covid having returned to Indonesia.
Someone said this video was from about 2019 or after 2019.
I'm not sure if this video is that old but now that I watched some more the video quality is good but certainly not perfect. So could actually be a decade old. I think the only possibilty to get a better understanding of the age of this video would be to look at the most recent car in this video or -as you did - at the consctruction sites.
Maybe you should look at his channel description instead of complaining.
Unusual to see the streets without any ad at every step)

No signs. No colors. No decorations. No text on buildings. No architectural variety. No variety, at all.
North Korea truly has god-tier level Adblockers.
Literally 19 seconds in and I already see text. Just because you can't recognize the korean alphabet doesn't mean it's not there. It is true that it's architectually bleak, but that's because most of the city was remodeled after the soviets (infamous for their soulless architecture made for efficiency) because 75% of Pyongyang was destroyed in the Korean War so they had to rebuild with Soviet assistance.
We Germans say :
„ Zebrastreifenschild „ to it , you can See it on 1:54 🥲 i was surprised. You can die on so many things in Nordkorea , but they have an „ Zebrastreifenschild „ .

Middle-aged guy here, but I just made it to see DDR in the last years, as a teenager.
In some ways, Pyongyang looks like East Berlin did back then in some ways, but not wholly. East Berlin looked less - well - "barren" for a lack of better word in English.
And East Berlin was actually more colorful. At least with "Neues Deutschland" signs for the newspaper, and similar stuff.
Anyway, I am glad that I saw it, before it dissappeared.

Dude, It's a capital city, that was created for the people who working in governvent and highly qualified specialists, especially those involved in the development of nuclear weapons. And the cars are driven by officials, embassy employees, top specialists, and businessmen. Ordinary people don't have cars.

Спасибо большое за видео! Простая поездка по улицам, но смотрел увлечённо и с любопытством. С первого взгляда впечатляет следующее:
- Очень, очень, очень чисто. Просто невообразимо чисто. Сразу видно два слагаемых: за уборку улиц муниципалитет несет ответственность, а простые граждане даже не думают бросить бумажку мимо урны.
- Нет бесячей рекламы, вывесок, билбордов со всех сторон. Напоминает советские времена.
- Нет проблем с парковкой (вот бы в Санкт-Петербурге так же).
Можно, пожалуйста, такое же видео, когда придет весна и все расцветет? Кажется, что весной и летом будет необычайно красиво. Очень хочется посмотреть. А если такое уже есть, можно ссылочку глянуть?

@@Skipper441 Как странно. А я тут увидел достаточно (для города) и деревьев, и кустов 🙂, зато прошлогодней опавшей листвы нисколечко. Состояние природы "за полчаса до весны" может быть обманчивым. Знаете, когда-то в далёком 2000-м случилось мне приехать в Нефтеюганск в апреле. Помню, подумал тогда: "Ох ты ж, мать моя! Куда ж меня жизнь забросила? Кругом только серость и уныние. Как тут жить можно?" Но следующий визит в июне все поставил на свои места. Зелени оказалось полно, все стало красивым, цветным и вполне себе позитивным. Уверен, что в Северной Корее климат куда мягче, чем в Нефтеюганске, так что с нетерпением жду летнее видео.
Я не вижу в этом городе ничего хорошего. Серый совок, никакой Кореи, сплошная Россия из глубинки. Ещё и какие-то идиоты среди иностранцев умудряются находить плюсы в этом, хотя они бы и месяца там не прожили, взвыли бы от скуки и несвободы. Но им этого не понять, ума не хватает.

Fascinating. I can't help but wonder where everyone is going and what they're doing. I'm always surprised by the wide streets and lack of electrical poles in the few videos I've seen from Pyongyang, quiet a contrast from other major cities in the region.

@@zinaidamarenkova7347странно, что вы не увидели столбы.
They're all out acting, pretending to go about their daily business like they are ordered to do!
The wide streets are easier to send military equipment through, and they also make it easier to repress a popular revolt. That's also why Paris has grand boulevards.
Interesting that the norm seems to be for bicycles to be ridden on the sidewalks, which are full of pedestrians, even though the streets are wide and with very little car traffic.
There are not many bicycle lanes in Pyongyang, the road I passed in this video does not have a special bicycle lane, the law in North Korea is that we are not allowed to ride a bicycle when crossing, we must get off the bicycle when crossing. In this video my friend and I are also discussing "should we cycle on the sidewalk or on the road, because sometimes we are prohibited from cycling on the sidewalk and sometimes we are prohibited from cycling on the road".
I ve been to Japan recently, never seen a single bicycle lane there in Kobe even tho bikes are everywhere. Maybe its a common thing for asia
Depends on where you are. Shenzen doesn't have many for example but Shanghai and Zhejiang have a lot. Not sure about Seoul @@-kenjo-421
@@jakaparker In Poland it is illegal to ride a bike on a sidewalk - you have to ride on a street if there is no bike lane.

Ах какая тишина. Нет этого адского шума автомобилей. Рай.
а широченные улицы какие и площади
Thank you for uploading, I went on a one week Pyongyang cycling trip back in 2017. It was a great experience and a fantastic way to see the city.
Were you allowed to visit starving villages or just city?
@@olafjansowidz Tourists arent allowed to see anything outside of Pyongyang, and most parts of Pyongyang are inaccessible to visitors. A guide is required and you can only see restricted tourist areas.
i think ill give it a miss lol
街道非常干净👍
한국의 70년대같이 정겹네요~^^
So nice!
😂😂😂 nice 😂😂😂
Smooth sailing
Nice and quiet city.
Wah orang Indonesia di mana mana ada di Korea Utara pun ada👍👍
Pentingnya jadi negara non-blok....
Its like voice city !!!! Few ppl roaming around the street😊
Clean street and discipline!
Lo que uno más busca es tener una vida llena de paz 🕊️ dónde no se tenga que preocupar por la comida, ni el techo ni el trabajo donde se esté en paz
Y donde es eso? No creo que sea Corea del Norte ya que para empezar el gobierno no los dejan salir de ahi, y los que logran salir vivos dicen que hay escases de comida especialmente en invierno, muchas veces no tienen calefaccion, no hay internet, y a veces ni agua porque se congelan las cañerias, no hay libertad de moverse, los trabajos que hay son designados por el estado y si tienes buenos contactos te asignan uno mejory el pago regular es de $0.25 centavos de dolar por hora...osea $2 dolares por dia de trabajo. La salud no es gratis ya que si no tienes dinero puedes pagar con alcohol, cigarros, comida o un poco de dinero si es que tienes.
Si te interesa, puedes ir.

@@patrickgallegos113 Bendito sea Huitzilopoxtli, vienes a repetir al dedillo lo que te dice la propaganda gringa, como el buen perico amaestrado que pareces ser. Nada de lo que dices puedes darlo por cierto, porque NUNCA has estado ahi.
@@patrickgallegos113зарплата ни о чем не говорит, потому что цены могут быть 1-2 цента, но то что нет интернета и мало электричества это точно
@@ElenaLinkинтернет у них есть и сматфоны и ноубуки. Кто вам такое сказал? Полно видео об этом. Свободная страна. А законы такие, что и полиция не нужна.
It looks just fine.
"looks" is the key word
Of course. This dude's page is propaganda, which is why he doesn't get in trouble. He's only going to show you what they want you to see.
Very interesting and wonderful video, rarely seen. But i guess I know who your minders are ..lol.
Kota nya bersih dan bebas polusi dan adem kayanya..
For such a large city there are a lot of emptiness in the streets and between people, similar building densities in Chicago would be packed with people.
I think the ridiculously wide roads and sidewalks cause people to be spread out. And depends what parts of Chicago and times of day, I've seen near empty streets in Chicago and at other times it's fairly crowded.
Packed with people stealing in Chicago!
Very clean
awsome roads and so clean. Amazing!
Cool! did North Korea celebrate new years? That would be cool to see! and happy new years!
Yes they always celebrated
Many comments here say that this video was filmed years ago, around 2015-2017.
@@parasatc8183 Yes, Jaka Parker is no longer in Korea and this is an old video. What's your point? New years is celebrated in North Korea and there was a celebration in Pyongyang.
@@terere8323 Yea I heard that the smokable crystal stuff is sometimes given as a gift for new years over there
Люди как люди как и везде .
Звери в зоопарке тоже похожи на тех которые в лесу на свободе.....Прежде чем писать ,немного подумать не пробовали?
@@user-tm3uh3lh4vа им думать не надо. Посмотри на комменты, будто все под копирку шизу пишут: «город чистый, рекламы нет». Я не знаю, может их в детстве изнасиловала реклама, почему их так волнует это. А чистые улицы - вообще смех, будто это показатель того, насколько страна развита. То что у них людям есть не чего, нельзя выехать и страны, за что угодно посадить в тюрьму могут - пару пустяков, улицы за то чистые. Зомби
@@grandcruel4966Prefieres vivir en túnel de metro en cualquier ciudad occidental?
Muy libremente!!
@@grandcruel4966 (Я не знаю, может их в детстве изнасиловала реклама, почему их так волнует это.) Конкретно в данном ролике нет рекламы, вот и пишут. Или нужно что то напридумывать от себя, и тогда ты с удовольствием это схаваешь?
(А чистые улицы - вообще смех, будто это показатель того, насколько страна развита) А кто то тебе тут сказал развита страна или нет? Человек конкретно катается по улице и снимает на камеру, что ты еще хотел увидеть? Что не вяжется с тем что тебе по СМИ про них втирают?
(То что у них людям есть не чего, нельзя выехать и страны, за что угодно посадить в тюрьму могут - пару пустяков, улицы за то чистые. Зомби) Найди видео где они с голоду умирают и траву для животных жуют, и там втирай свой бред. Нахер вы твари выдумываете и пишете то чего не видно?
