This might be an Only in Japan moment (or perhaps Holland or Denmark).
The picture at right shows the Inuyama train station, which is about one hour outside of Nagoya.
The picture is blurry, but the ramp clearly visible in the middle of the steps leading up to the station is for bikes.
Cyclists and commuters pushed their bikes up the ramp, through the main hall of the station, and then down the ramp on the other side.
Amazing.
We were on a short trip to the area, and did not have time to investigate. The best guess is that the train tracks block passage to the other side for a long way on both ends of the station. No crossing areas?
As a result, the good people a the train company have created a bike ramp.
Bravo.
