Bike Symbol Kyoto

Bike symbol Kyoto新しい自転車マーク

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.
