I've taken on a new customer, actually a few, an old friend of my departed father-in-law runs a liquor shop, a few neighbourhoods over from us, he has decided to retire (I think he is 73) and has handed me some of his old customers. A couple of them should be really good for the bottom line They are certainly close enough to do the delivery via bicycle and trailer, but I have to go down a couple of roads that can be crowded and do not have any kind of sidewalk to speak of, and not much room for traffic. Fortunately this is not a long distance, but it is still a bit tight, and you know how some Tokyo drivers can be.
I'm toying with the idea of putting a big assed "Share the Road" kind of sign on the back of my trailer......
Something like that, I might have to adjust the image a bit, but you get the idea. I think, or hope that an image alone would get the idea across, but some text would not hurt. I think the English "Share the Road" on the bottom and a Japanese equivalent on the top would be good.
This is what Google translate came up with....
共有道路 (Kyōyū dōro)
..... When I put it back through the Google translator it comes out as "Sharing the road".
I know that when I ask my wife, she will roll her eyes and say "Why bother" but it is not her cute butt out there in the traffic playing with the cars. I am also very aware that TOO MANY drivers would never see it, get it, or give a hoot, but some might.
Suggestions, comments, snide remarks....
Cheers!
