I'm in the south bay area CA and take as many backstreets as I can when riding. I think that is why I'm still alive to this day as I have been riding fairly consistently since 2012. I would say 'stay safe', but you can create your own safety by riding more backstreets, that is if you know where they are and they are in decent shape.

[@harshith.aj9920]

Reminds me of Onoda kun and Naruko kun meeting for the first time..

[@maidbloke]

Really enjoyed this video. All apart from the dangerous close pass at 2:40. 🤯 Here in the UK many commuter cyclists run cameras to catch drivers doing this. Police forces have web based upload areas for video and drivers end up with points on their licence and/or a fine. This makes them think twice next time. Anything like that in Japan or the USA?

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Police are not very strict here

[@radek5690]

Hey guys, great video! But the KFC does not look too appetizing. Though the workers were nice enough to let you through the drive-thru. Thoung is so funny by passing the other cyclist, I think she was egging him on to challenge her on the mamachari. Thanks again. Take it easy.

[@readysetsleep]

18:45 I kind of wondered if I got a miss cut drumstick at a Japanese KFC. But I see your drumstick also has the foot knuckle attached to the bone too. And the Japanese version has a Golden fry than the American Brown Fry color for KFC chicken.

Geez, I agree with the whole dangerous thing. Every morning during my commute, everyone drives normally. Even with my hand signals, people always see me and are extremely courteous on tight roads.
