Riding around Shingawa area - 29th Oct 2010

I woke up early and checked the weather.. yes. It was not raining like yesterday.  I have 30 mins to spare ... so I pushed out my bike and did a neighbourhood  slow ride. And yes, it was lovely weather and really peaceful.  Also saw alot of cyclist in different shapes and sizes....the place is great for cyclist with dedicated bike lanes. Times are really changing...way to go Japan!

  2. nice Taiwoon. From the map it looks like you can follow the GREEN path much like the PCN in Singapore. Riding in Japan is very different feeling right? I miss that!
