ママチャリ

This kind of bicycle is known as "ママチャリ" in Japan. Perhaps its because most ladies ride it here.
I got mine handed down from a Thai friend, whos friend handed it down to him.

Its a great bike! Old and the tyres are a kind of worned out but it gets me from my home in Higashi Tamagawa to university in Ookayama in less than 15minutes, home to the train station, university to Tokyu Store for groceries and sometimes to friend's at Hatanodai :D

I have always wanted to ride the bicycle in Japan. They have lanes, although sometimes narrow, for bicycles and pedestrians. There are not too many cars on the roads, so its pretty safe.

Now that its autumn, its feel even better as I don't sweat as much as in the summer. However, I cannot yet imagine riding it in winter. 寒いかな。

Living my Japanese dream :D
