But several accidents are caused each year by reckless cyclists who speed into pedestrians.
I assume you mean the lack thereof?The awareness of basic life safety when and around cycles is astonishing in Japan.

I counter when riding alone by playing loud music over a speaker and a 1,200 lumens light when riding in the dark so that pedestrians know I am coming from a long way back. I've still managed to have a number of avoidable accidents.
It's funny, because if you look at pre-school children, teachers seem to go to enormous pains to have them cross roads while raising their hands to alert traffic to their presence, so it's not like people aren't taught something about road safety.
It is why I avoid city riding as much as possible. Once I'm on the trails in the mountains, there are no cars to contend with. I think this is a large part of the reason for the increase in popularity of gravel and mountain biking. I know it is for me, anyway.That is what scared me enough to basically ride almost 100% indoors on a trainer.
yes, however some people like speed than climbing.. unfortunately, also not all has the luxury of being close in the country side..It is why I avoid city riding as much as possible.

The Arakawa emergency access road (note: it's not a cycle path, however much it might seem so) is 80 km long, and has two sides. Which section is 'yours'?I noticed that during early mornings, arakawa's barriers are still open. Does someone knows the time/hour the barriers are close?
As the philosopher Jagger noted: You can't always get what you want.I want a route without any obstruction when cycling..
My memory may fail me, but it says that the path on the right bank of Edogawa was unobstructed.I want a route without any obstruction when cycling..
And so that oncoming cyclists are dazzled from a long way back, because somebody has to do the dirty work of crashing into those pesky pedestrians.I counter when riding alone by playing loud music over a speaker and a 1,200 lumens light when riding in the dark so that pedestrians know I am coming from a long way back.
They are wonderful tracks, but the wind was punishing. It was nice cycling in Dubai, though.sad to hear that Japan (Tokyo) has no cycling specific tracks to fully avoid accidents. Dubai city itself has many cycling tracks. popular ones are 300km (Al Qudra) loop and 8km (Nad Al Sheba) loop.

That bastard was from my home city, Melbourne, which seems to have a reputation for being particularly unfriendly to cyclists. I thought Mark Beaumont had trouble there when he was making his world circumnavigation record attempt. He did, but it wasn't through nastiness, just ineptitude as a driver crashed into his support vehicle. Still, sorry cyclists, for the behavior of some of my countrymen, who don't deserve the "o" in that word.There are occasional news reports of some local - possibly channeling their inner 'Australian motorist' - sprinkling nails or thumbtacks in the gaps at the gates, just to mess with cyclists.
thanks! are you referring on the left side or right side?I start my Arakawa rides far enough up the river, maybe about 28km upriver so I don't have the annoying gates that are further down. Less sports fields and clueless pedestrians too.
