While many folks leave their bicycles here n there (usually bunched up
outside train stations), the proper place to park ones bicycle is in a
parking lot like this. One has to pay however to use the lots but not
much - maybe just over 1000 yen per month. Folks can also stop off
their bike for a few hours which may cost a few hundred yen.
When I was living back in the UK 10 years ago, the bicycle wasn't a
really common form of transport like it is in Japan. High bicycle
usage in your neck of the woods?
ロンドンに住んでいた頃に、自転車文化は日本のように盛んでいなかった。最近だけ自転車が乗れるようになり、よく「自転車って便利だな〜」と自分につぶやく^^;
