Bike ride in Japan

Sit back and watch Japan go by as I do the work.

Parts of my daily commute. 40 km round trip 5 days a week. About 60 min to go one way. Rain or shine I ride!

Why ride the train it takes the same time! It costs you money and the bike is a free health club. Maintaining the bike is way cheaper that a year of train fair. I am free I can stop where I want and when I want.

Station areas visited:

Omiya Warabi Ariajuku Others passed by

Rt 17,34,1 taken in Saitama

When I ride I need up to date weather info. I use the weather underground!

What's your tyre size? And what's your average RPM on the road?

[toddatron]

@weurRTG MTB rims with 2.5 Maxxis hookworms. RPMs well I don't know but I cruse rather effortlessly at about 20 to 25 kph unless I want to pass or I'm late for work. Sorry I will let you do the math on that one.

That's one hell of a daily bike commute. My AET commute is 45 minutes by train and subway. I can't imagine riding a bike to work for 60 minutes therefore I commend your fortitude and endurance. Get your ass to Nagoya if you want me to buy you a beer(s)!

7:43 mark.

Did you tell him to "get the f*#@! outta my way" as you passed him by?

That was brilliantly wrong and hilarious at the same time!! : D

That road-side construction clearly indicates this is indeed Tokyo, but I have NO idea exactly where this was shot. I also see many non-Tokyo plates on the cars. The sign at one of the intersections says Hatogaya Station. I'm not familiar with that area at all...

I lived a couple blocks off Rt 17 in Maebashi. Avoided riding on it most of the time. Some of my schools would take 60' by bike in the morning and longer on the way home but I arrived much more relaxed and refreshed than when I drove ~45' to the same schools.

Thank you so much for sharing this- it's like living in Japan!!

I've traveled many countries in the world and Japanese streets were by far the most litter free country I been. Singapore comes second. Korea had lots of litter in Seoul.
