Has anybody had the pleasure of going down Meiji dori or it's friend Yamate dori recently?
I have been cycling in Tokyo for over 6 years now and these stinking foul pothole ridden excuses for pavement have been the SAME for all those years.
Actually I don't think Meiji dori was actually 'built'. I think a giant bird flew over and dropped it from a great height. It's been left like that since.
I believe the Tokyo government is building yet another endless subway deep underground, hence the need to dig up the road every 5 mins for the last 6 years. Just think though if people rode bicycles they would not need to have 400 subway lines with stations every 3 meters apart. it is amazing to some people when they do finally get on a bike that they discover the journey that took over an hour changing subway/train lines actually takes 20 mins on a bike.
rubber down!
