I remember when I was studying in Japan, my host family loaned me a bike to get around their small town, but I never noticed it being unusual because it was when I was in high school, and I already rode a bike to and from school in the US. I wish I'd gotten a chance to check out how common bikes were in the bigger cities; maybe it wouldn't have taken me ten years to get involved with bike advocacy over here!
Thanks for your lovely pictures, they inspire me every day (and make me want to get a new bike)!
Very cool photo... lost in an ocean of bicycles!
