From the staff
Central Kyoto has few hills, and a bike is the most pleasant way to get around it. If it is your first time, before you set off we go over the map together to check where you can park and which roads you can ride on.
Why this place supports social causes
The more tourists ride bikes, the more the bikes left on the street get in the way of the people who live here. So we walk around ourselves to check the bike parks where parking is allowed, and redraw our map every month. Once a month, before opening the shop, we also go out to pick up litter along the banks of the Kamo River.
From the place
Because we are a shop that explains even how to park your bike, so that visitors and residents can both use the same streets comfortably.
What they care about
A map of where you can park
Kyoto is a city with many places where you must not park a bike. Every month we walk around to check the bike parks where parking is allowed, and hand you the result as a map.
Checked every morning
Before lining them up, we check each bike one by one: tyre pressure, brakes, lights and battery charge.
Get around as a family
We have children's bikes and child seats (front and rear). Helmets are free for children too.
