Firefly ride - Night Pedal Cruising
In collaboration with cycling embassy Tokyo

https://cycling-embassy.jp/firefly/

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:

• about 15 - 20 km

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). 2-3 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 want add some extra lights for the occasion

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).
