Young Mama Cyclist Kyoto

Kyoto Cyclist自転車で買い物中の若い母さん

At the northwest corner of Kawaramachi - Imadegawa, down the street from the Kamo River, a young woman checked her mail in front of the Mitsubishi Tokyo UFJ bank branch.

She is standing next to an all-purpose mama-chari bike that is the most common form of transportation in Japan (fact checker: is this true? No doubt).

It was a Saturday, so it is doubtful that she has just dropped the little one at day care. But she appears to be out on errands on what was a glorious day.

The montage of her - white sporty sneakers, black tights, pink pantaloons (?), checked coat, surgeon's mask (she has pollen allergies or a cold), and her hair pulled back into a tight mini-pony-tail - framed by the silver bike on the tiled sidewalk is pure Kyoto.
