Tokyo Bike Ride - Two Rivers Downtown Loop - 90km - June 2024

Tokyo Bike Ride - June 2023
Two Rivers Downtown Loop - 90km
I cycled down the Arakawa river, then west to Ginza and south along Route 15 to the Tamagawa river. Along the river to Futako Tamagawa, then north along Route 311 (Kampachi Dori).
An exciting, but at times frustrating ride - frustrating due to the large number of red lights I had to stop at.

A real urban adventure John 👍and a fantastic bit of tunnel action too! That will make madam's day...

[@Jaqaroo]

Thanks Mike! Just watching your recent very nice gravel adventure!

Ginza looks so much different without people!! Now you can do a Shinjuku/Shibuya bike through early morning! No Mcd this time? Love the TrackTribe music 👍🏻

[@Jaqaroo]

I was surprised by the deserted Ginza as well, don't think I've seen it like that before. But it was only 6:30am. It was quite fun riding through the city, so I will do it again - Shinjuku and Shibuya would be good. McMuffin next week, hopefully - back on the river I think.

Great one John. Lucky that the cops didnt stopped you for sneaking around their car. The 360 shots are also getting better, white balance is a bit bad with the 360 maybe you need to do a bit more post process. Keep on going and good to see that you might it alive through the city.

[@Jaqaroo]

Thanks Niels! I'm not sure what the police car was doing, but they didn't chase me... Yes, the 360 shots still need more work in post. I was riding Sunday morning, so the traffic wasn't too bad, but I have to concentrate a lot more than the river side rides.

Really enjoyed watching you do 90k 👍 did you stop anywhere for a coffee? You didn't seem to struggle with the distance. 💪🏻💪🏻🚴🚴🚴 Well done! 👌🚴Love the Yeehaa! ❤️😁 So many tunnels.... I'd have had a field day! 👍😄

[@Jaqaroo]

Thanks Julie! No coffee stops on this ride. All very flat and very stop-start, so not very tiring. Glad you liked the Yeehaa! Just watched your latest - stay strong. Sending you good vibes!

Oh yes! Tokyo won't know what hit it. I nor will I...

I dont see red lights!

Some say im lucky and only hit green lights, others say i go so fast that the Doppler effect kicks in and red lights appear blue.

[@Jaqaroo]

Haha...! I am sometimes colour blind, especially early in the morning.
