Relatively flat and bisected by rivers and quiet backstreets, Tokyo is perhaps the best major city in the world for cyclists, especially in the cool dry winter months before the spring rains and summer humidity.
The mama-chari (?mother chariot?) push-bike is one of Tokyo?s defining features -- an estimated 20 million are on the streets -- most being used for the home-to-train-station commute.
An increasing number of citizens are also realizing that a sturdy mountain bike or sleek racing bike can take them to almost anywhere in the city within an hour or two. With a bike, the journey from door to door is often faster than it is using trains or buses.
