Tokyo alleyway bikes and bike riders

There wasn’t really enough room for the bikes, let alone the bike rider, but that didn’t seem to make the slightest bit of difference at all.

    I’d also like to add there isn’t much space for a photographer! 😉

      Haha, that’s difficult to disagree with!

    Is that a ‘neighborhood fire hose in the white box to the picture left of the biker???
    Fun picture with lots of details to check out.

      There’s certainly a lot to see. So much so in fact that I hadn’t really noticed the white box. Good question. Small fire extinguishers are common sights, but not sure about fire hoses like that. I’ll have to have a closer look next time I’m in the area so I can give a proper answer.

    That’s a whole lot of manholes to shimmy around (if you are not being watched), and a freeky set of mudguards being protected by the shrub.

      I know eh? An almost ridiculous amount. Lots of shimmying would be required that’s for sure. And yes, definitely not your average mudguards.

    What a wonderful location, so narrow, so many rusted greebles, so many circles. It must feel like Luke Skywalker making his deathstar bomb run cycling down there.
    For some reason this photograph sprang to mind when I considered how in harms way you looked – from Rear Window…

      Yeah, it’s a great little spot. And all those circles are great eh?

      What a photo. Thankfully it wasn’t anywhere near as hairy as that, but I did have to take evasive action immediately after pressing the shutter.
