Access to this area by the general public is strictly controlled, and the bicycle tour is held on specially designated dates, generally on the fourth Sunday of each month between February and November.
The tour is open to the first 300 persons making reservations through the DMZ bicycle tour corner of Gyeonggi Peace Center (peace.ggtour.or.kr).
The DMZ bicycle tour is 17.2 km long and takes about 2 hours. A special souvenir from Paiu is given to each participant.
