Just got back from Tokyo, and it was amazing to see Women riding along in
the rain, one hand holding an umbrella, the other the handlebar, and weaving
through the masses of people, and with a 12 month or so baby in the front
basket, quite scary I thought.
But it was so great to see that motorist respect bikes there, not the same
as here, the complete opposite here.

Actually, I had very little respect for most Japanese bike riders. They
were a bunch of wrong-way riding, no-light-at-night hazards. They also
regarded any ride longer than 1 km as outrageously long. You saw the
umbrella in one hand, but did you see anybody with a keitai in the other
hand?
What's a keitai?
