交通安全啓発活動実施中京都上京区In front of Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, a battalion of middle aged men in bright yellow reflective vests were passing out public safety packets aimed at cyclists.
Of the fifty or so men working the street, the man who sidled up to me was polite and chatty and funny. He was a Lions Club member - as they all were - and explained the purpose of the campaign and then handed me not one but two packets.
The package included the de rigueur tissue pack, a reflective sticker, a pink and white pen, a pack of Q-tips, and the pamphlet pictured at right.
The pamphlet features the Kyoto Asto Dreams women's baseball team's star pitcher Kawabata Yuki riding a bike and making a pitch for the use of helmets.
The campaign is co-sponsored by the Lions Club, the Kamigyo Ward Kyoto Police, Kamigyo Ward Office, and the Juraku Center for the Severely Disabled.
