Biking a Tokyo Greenway (S2/E3)

EPISODE 3: I push on through the rain, on my way towards lunch, stopping here and there to take in the lush green sights.
- This Episode is from day 1 of my trip
- The series is intentionally edited more raw in order to give a video of what it is like to ride in Japan
- Footage was recoded on GoPro HERO12
