Namba bicycle parking

03.04.07 | 2 Comments

I’m a fervent supporter of bicycles and I’m in favour of their use above cars. I can’t drive and so I commute by bicycle or public transport.

There is a busy pavement in Namba, Osaka centre between Namba station and Den Den Town which is very wide. Unfortunately 2/3 of this is taken up with illegally parked bicycles as you can see above. It is so frustrating that this reduces the people flow to two single file lines especially when you’re in a rush. This scenario is repeated all over Osaka and Japan.

There needs to be some sort of bicycle parking which is easy to use, affordable and doesn’t inconvenience cyclist or pedestrian before I go on a massive rampage destroying all illegally parked bicycles.
