Biking in Tokyo - 06-02-2008, 02:50 PM

Kanichiwa

I just found out that I will be going to Japan for a year. Leaving the States early July. I am an avid biker, and I am wondering whether I should bring my Mountain Bike or a Road Bike. I made the mistake oif bringing my Road bike to New Zealand last year when I SHOULD have brought the Mountain bike. Big mistake, as the road were REALLY narrow, and driovers there did not seem to understand the notion if "sharing" the road with bikers. I'm hoping Japan will be different. Also, I am a pilot and fly general aviation airplanes. If anyonoe has any info on GA in Japan, such as flying clubs or other opportunities to rent airplanes that would also be very helpful. I'll be living in Tokyo.

I speak NO Japanese yet, but I'm hoping Rosetta Stone lives up to its' reputation. 5 weeks to go................
