Shimanami Kaido Cycling in Japan

Cycling with friends on the "Shimanami Ocean Pass Cycling Road" between the two islands, Shikoku and Honshuu, Japan. The weather was perfect and this trip made for some great memories.

Sorry for the shaky video, it was filmed with a cell phone on a moving bicycle.
A big thanks to everyone who helped organize the trip, it was really fun. Also, sorry to those who couldn't come due to car troubles.

Looking forward to doing it again next year!

@frankinhiro @frankinhiro I did this ride 6 years ago so my memory may not be perfect. I don't recall feeling the off-bridge part was particularly dangerous in terms of traffic. No worse than typical rural Hiroshima-ken. I do recall noticing that the route signs on the north half of the route weren't as good as in the south so keep your eyes peeled or have a pre-loaded GPS track to follow. Good luck on your ride!

Hello there, Nice video. I'm planning a taking a rather large Special Olymics group for a ride on the Shimanami Kaido. I was wondering, the bridge seems fairly safe for the cyclists but, I've heard that the "off the bridge" parts. Like on the islands is a little scary. How was it for you folks. Thanks!!
