Land of One Million Bicycles

I took these pictures outside the entrance to the Tsukishima subway station, near Shibuya (Tokyo).  As opposed to forgetting where you parked your car- at least the walk through the 'parking lot' is shorter when you are in bicycle parking!

I myself have not been brave enough to ride my bike off base- it is way too crazy for me!  Plus, I need to get a bell to ring at people on the sidewalk so they can get out of my way.  I am not joking, when you are walking on a sidewalk and hear a bell ringing, you step to the side so as not to get run over.

Next I must get a picture of someone riding their bike holding an umbrella- as I have seen on many a rainy day.  Now THAT is dedication my friends!  (illegal apparently- but still dedicated...)
