京都御所近く歩道で走る自転車Ah, a lovely spring day for a stroll in Kyoto.
On the left is the 19th century campus of Doshisha University, one of Japan's most prestigious private universities.
On the right is the Imperial Palace, a huge and urban green space.
The sidewalk itself parallels Imadagawa Dori - on which traffic is slowly moving - and is elegant and understated.
Yet here they come, a line of cyclists, ringing their bells.
Riding on this narrow sidewalk - bus stops at intervals on the left, a gutter on the right - is legal.

Hello
I have been jogging on the sidewalk for over fifteen years. To tell the truth, the sidewalks beside the Kyoto Imperial Palace are narrow, especially of west side. So I prefer the path inside the Imperial Palace.
