We went to the local park - Nagai park which has a couple of large stadiums and was a bit grey because it is winter, apparently it is usually very colourful. Unfortunately the garden was closed because it was Sunday. Loads of people jog here and everyone cycles - young and old - rich and poor - the cyclist is king. The roads are totally cyclist friendly. There are no raised curbs at junctions and people can cycle pretty much anywhere including on the pavements. That is well cool because people want to use their bike all the time. Kids go to school on their bikes with their parents and the city seems almost surreal with so few cars driving around. English cities could do the same with a bit of willing.
