Cycling near Nijo Castle

Cycling high school students near Nijo Castle Kyoto二条城の近く自転車で乗る

School was letting out near Nijo Castle.

The brief summer holiday - all of one month - had just ended and it was back to the books.

Temperatures were in the mid-thirties (high nineties in Fahrenheit) and students were probably not thrilled about being back in their trig classes, their world history classes, their stare out the window as the world goes by classes as sensei drones on at the front of the room.

This young pair were elated to have been released from a day at school, and were zigzagging south of Nijo Castle. They were the very embodiment of youthful joy and elan.

They both were riding practical "mama chari" bikes, perfect for getting around town and beating up on without worrying about the damage.

After they realized they were being photographed, the young man flashed a brief brilliant smile - and then resumed pedaling on to who knows where or what.
