| By the request of an Australian cyclist Gus ,who will go back to his country next week, we did a round trip of the downtown area with a rented bicycle. The bicycle was very cheap but it was a Mama Chari. Mama Chari is the name of a bicycle for shopping housewives. At first we borrowed bicycles in the underground station.  There was a mini-escalator for bicycles in the stairs to the ground from the basement. In Japan, sometimes we happen to misunderstand the meaning of the word "progress".(LOL) |
We went to Asakusa, which was well introduced in a Japanese tourist guide book, and then we cycled along Sumida River.  |
Kiyosu Bridge; built in 1928.  |
Kachidoki Bridge; built in 1940,"movable bridge".  |
We usually ride a road bicycle in forward-bent posture. Because we did not need to bend forward today, the Mama Chari was most suitable for a pleasure cycling. There was little holiday traffic, and the downtown area was comfortable. 23.6 Km |
