皇居 / Imperial Palace

日曜の午後(10am~3pm)の皇居周辺は、自転車天国。自転車オタクから、ママチャリライダーまで、思い思いのスピードで楽しんでいます。私はマイチャリだったけど、貸し自転車もあるみたい。
車がないと空気もきれいだし、自転車でスイスイ走れて気持ちが良い!日比谷方面には東京タワーの姿も。この季節、都会のど真ん中でサイクリングするのって楽しいです。

Sunday afternoon (10am~3pm), the road is closed to trafic leaving free for cyclists around Imperial Palace. From serious cyclists with their expensive bikes to mamachari (shopping bikes) riders enjoy cycling there. There is a place where you can rent bikes.
The road is not very busy so you can go quite fast, although you have to stop by signals for pedestrians. It is nice to cycle in the middle of Tokyo with views of Tokyo tower.
