Bike Lane South Kyoto Kawaramachi

Bike Lane South Kyoto自転車専用レーン南京都河原町通

In deep south Kyoto - home of freeways and industry - was this bike lane.

It is perfect.

Forget for a second that you are riding under a highway, that an on ramp is just up to the right, and that the road you are riding on - Kawaramachi just south of the Jujo corner - is about to end.

Then enjoy the short lane.

It is separated from pedestrian traffic by a neatly tended row of bushes.

Automobile traffic runs on the other side of a ten-inch high barrier.

Alas, the lane ran for just several hundred meters, if that.

Still, it was perfectly planned, executed, and built.
