【交通安全ライド☆2025】
ナイトライドが気持ちの良い気候になって来ましたね、夜に自転車に乗る為の安全について考える機会に!
視認性の良いウエアーやライト、自慢の安全アイテム持ち寄ってワイワイライドしましょ〜☆(新宿中央公園ゴール解散予定)
5/17(土) 青山国連大前17:30集合、18:00スタート
Safety First Ride - Night Pedal Cruising
When:
- We will meet at 17:30 and then start the ride at 18:00. 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. There is a farmers market on Saturday afternoons and we meet on the sidewalk. Just look out for people with bicycles (some of them strange, e.g. tall bikes).
Route:
- https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=18ulQjt1qdIs7dXsXLnNAzDYNHm-fQyg&usp=sharing
- About 13 km
- goal Shinjuku Central Park
Duration of ride:
- The duration of the ride will depend on our speed and route, but you can drop off anytime during the ride (just let someone know so we don't think we lost you). 3-4 h is a good estimate.
- We will stop during the ride for a rest.
- Please note that in Japan you cannot bring a bicycle on the train without it being in a bag.
What to bring:
- a bicycle (with lights)
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 night ride through Tokyo with friendly locals and a few foreign residents (depending on actual attendees this night).
