Kyoto Delivery Bicycle Nishijin

Delivery Bicycle Kyoto京都自転車宅急便

On the narrow streets of central Kyoto and a bit beyond, one can often find delivery riders.

This is the familiar green and yellow of Yamato Takyubin.

The men and women who ride these bikes use standard "mama chari" bikes with electric engines.

Behind the bike is a carrier with wheels that can hold a large number of boxes and packages. The container is water proof, and in recent days we have seen many of these hard-working people pedaling in the the pouring rain.

This guy was on a typical street south of Imadegawa and east of Senbon Dori in Nishijin.
