Staying at intercontinental Tokyo bay, looking to rent a road bike?
Can I ride ok from there or do I need to get out of the city to ride?
 
I think Tim has put a hold on rentals for the time being .
 
Try again: There's a list (in Japanese) of links here. You'd write to or phone (or fax!) each company in Japanese, because Japan. (Perhaps a very amiable hotel employee with no more pressing work to attend to would do this for you.) If you pump the web page through Google Translate, you'll get such intriguing terms as "mini bello" ("mini-velo", a bike with small wheels) and "cross bike" (a "hybrid bike", and definitely not a cyclocross bike).
 
Thanks will keep trying, might bring my own over but a bit of hassle for short trip.
 
Alas the routes out west, or many of them, have been damaged by the typhoon. Some will be quick to recover; others won't.

You *can* cycle within the city if you're OK with stopping every 500m for traffic lights.

You may have one zero too many!
