Bicycles Everywhere

I have a love-hate relationship with Golden Week in Japan. I hate the crowds at leisure spots, the jammed highways, crowded Shinkansens and madness at the airport. I love all of the sales and the overtime pay. Thus I choose to work.

On Tuesday I was walking around on a break when I began to take a second look at all of the Bicycles around. Usually I just ignore them as part of the landscape, but I began to take a second look due to the increase in volume.



Quite a few huh?



Same group, different angle.



No Tricycles aren't just for children, though this was a rare find.



These bicycles are lined up outside a local Pachinko parlor. I feel it's a little sad that the best some people can do with a public holiday is to go and gamble.



Here we have a chain designating a no bicycle parking area. It reminds me of the Berlin wall. So many people longing to be on the other side.
