Multi-storey bike park


Here are some interesting photos I took last Sunday while waiting for all the kids to turn up for our son's birthday party.

Hidden away under a building - a huge multi-storey bike park. Can you see the ramp up to the next level of the bike park? Intriguing are the "working" vehicles. Can you see the bikes with boxes on the back of them? They are delivery bikes. Not sure what for, but possibly couriers. Bikes are way faster in built-up areas and easier to park too!

Hey, Wendy, a question about the bikes over there. Do people generally wear helmets or is it considered unnecessary?

Hi Deb. No, people don't generally wear helmets. Kids often don't either, even though it now (rather recently) compulsory. I wrote about it back here: http://mmuser.blogspot.com/2010/07/slotting-back-into-life-in-japan.html
