On a stretch of Kawaramachi Dori, in central Kyoto, cycling is not permitted on the sidewalk or the street itself.
Cycling on the sidewalk would be an act of both masochism and sadism. Because of the high volume of pedestrian traffic, it is not possible to ride at speed or at all. Also, you would probably hit someone.
However, for those who come in off of Kiyamachi via a side street, there is parking along the railing on Kawaramachi.
The light pink paving hard by the railing indicates that bicycles are allowed to park.
This picture was taken in front of the BAL department store.
