At the corner of Gojo - Horikawa in Kyoto is a tight curve that leads to a tighter situation.
After leaving the bike lane on Gojo - from the Kamo River to Horikawa - cyclists are thrown instantly back to the reality of Kyoto cycling.
First you cross a small street. Watch out for taxis and trucks.
Having crossed that, there is now a bike "lane" painted on the sidewalk and a smart little bike symbol. No problems here.
However, having enjoyed the three-second lane, the foot of a pedestrian overpass awaits.
It is narrow, and there will be pedestrians coming down the steps and from he opposite direction, on Horikawa. A cyclist may also be coming barreling down from Horikawa.
