Rainy Day Cycling Kyoto

Rainy Day Cycling Kyoto雨の中自転車乗り京都

Rainy season has started in Kyoto.

That is more than two weeks earlier than usual.

It is a grim time for commuters, shoppers, and anyone who needs to get around on two wheels.

Riding in the rain strategies vary, and to varying degrees succeed or fail.

The full body gear of the cyclist above is keeping him dry - perhaps: that will depend on the material of the outfit - but underneath he is probably coated in a layer of sweat.

The man below left is riding illegally, and probably getting soaked to boot.

It is now against the law to ride holding an umbrella, or any other item, thus leaving the rider only one hand to navigate.

The cops though rarely if ever enforce this prohibition.

The umbrella he is using is made of clear plastic, so he has the advantage of being able to see - a bit.
