I was able to experience the charm of Kyoto that only slow cycling can offer!

Published on Nov, 2024

I was able to experience the charm of Kyoto that only slow cycling can bring! I was able to ride with a navigator who knows the local area inside and out, which was an experience that could only be had here.

Iā€™m glad I explored Kyoto by bicycle

Published on Oct, 2024

Cycling is a great way to explore Kyoto. So many tiny laneways, quiet streets and bike paths along the rivers and streams. Great local knowledge for finding hidden gems and tranquil alternatives when some places were way too crowded. The guide Takashi-san is a genuine nice guy who goes out of his way to help with anything. The fold-up bikes give the unique flexibility to jump onto a train whenever needed
