Our traditional picnic ride. Not at night, but in broad daylight. If you have one, please bring a picnic sheet.
When:
- We will meet at 10:00 and then start the ride at 10:30. If you are there, you are welcome to join us in the ride. We will not pass an attendee list. So please be on time.
Where:
- You'll find us in front of United Nations University on the sidewalk. Just look out for people with bicycles (some of them strange, e.g. tall bikes).
Route:
- We'll be riding through Shibuya, Setagaya and Suginami to Wadabori park where we will have our picnic.
Duration of ride:
- The duration of the ride will depend on our speed, but you can drop off anytime during the ride (just let someone know so we don't think we lost you). 2 h is a good estimate.
- Route about 12-15 km
- We will stop during the ride for a rest and at the end for the picnic!
- We will also stop in Eifukucho to buy things for picnic, but if you want to bring snacks from home that is perfect as well
- please note that in Japan you cannot bring a bicycle on the train without it being in a bag
What to bring:
- a sheet for the picnic
- if you want, some music instrument or some other things to play in the park
If you don't have a bicycle, you could rent one, e.g. with docomo: http://docomo-cycle.jp/shibuya/en/
Speed / Fitness / Skills required
- Riding speed is very relaxed.
- But you need to be fine with riding on busy (and not so busy) Tokyo streets.
Note, while tourists are welcome, this is not a guided tour, but a ride through Tokyo with friendly locals and a few foreign residents (depending on actual attendees this night).
