Kanagawa Cycling, Japan

I live, work, and cycle in West of Tokyo in Kanagawa Japan, not so far from Yokohama. My routes vary from short 50km trips from Machida to Enoshima, to longer 120km routes reaching Yokosuka, Kamakura, and Hakone.

In summer, I drag myself out the house at sunrise, returning by breakfast time to beat the heat and humidity. Routes lead south to Enoshima for a refreshing sea breeze or west to the foothills of Hakone. In winter I leave between 10 am and 2 pm enjoying the sunshine and chill winds from Mt. Fuji.

Japan's well-maintained roads offer a smooth ride, with river paths like Sagami and Sakai providing truck-free distances. Vending machines, a cyclist's boon, offer ice cold drinks never more than ten minutes away, explaining the non-standard bottle cages.

I post videos here as and when, and write up longer adventures on my website.

Thank you
