Ring, ring!
This is my new little bicycle for in Tokyo. My old one is back to it's owner, I only borrowed it until I got this one.
It's quite small because I have to take it with me in the elevator to the sixth floor. And it's very handy since in Tokyo people drive their bicycle on the pavement: that's people walking in two directions and bicycle races in two directions on one very small pavement, usually stocked with stalls showing off groceries or pottery.
I feel like a hero when I manage to slip between the playing children, a stack of horseradish, an old lady with a mini dog and a school boy on his race bike coming from the opposite direction.
I'm still not sure if it's allowed to drive on the pavement or if police will stop me if they see me. I'll risk it anyway since the alternative is a deadly street.
Until next time :)
