Rent me, rent me, rent me!
In the Yoyo park, I got to rent a bike and ride around the bike paths there. It was so totally awesome.

Follow the biking path
Not only did the Yoyo park have a bike path, it had a separate gated path for the young ones to learn how to bicycle. Too cool.

Apartment parking
In an alleyway, bikes parked out in the open. In San Francisco, these bikes would be gone if left overnight.

Unmatched Tired
Holy cow, is that bike actually locked to a railing? And it has suspension? I suspect this bike's owned by gaijin.

A shot of the bike in the fountain. It was pretty hard to see--if I hadn't been loitering there, I might've overlooked it completely.

This is probably the biggest snazzy bike I saw in Tokyo. Is it locked to anything, though? Nope.
