The title is, admittedly, a bit misleading.
At the corner south of the WINGS center in central Kyoto, the young woman pictured here came to a full stop and is thus not riding and texting.
She came to our attention via the screeching of her not well oiled brakes.
The buzz or ring of her cell phone - indicating the arrival of an urgent message - caused her to stop and pull over to check in on her network.
Kudos to her.
Many Kyoto riders keep right on pedaling as they check their mail, often with iPod ear buds firmly embedded in place and at a volume loud enough that passersby are treated to a bar or two of Arashi or Ayumi Hamasaki as they pass by.
