Chuo-ku version Vélib (community cycle)-Part 2-

[Nojinya] 16:00 on October 6, 2015

Earlier, blog article "Chuo-ku version Vélib (community cycle) started! (/archive/2015/10/velib.html) The community cycle (CC) in Chuo-ku has started, so I immediately used it on the first day of October 1. However, today's work on weekdays, so it's not for sightseeing but for commuting.

Since you have already registered as a member at the promotion of the Chuo-ku government office, first access the CC homepage (http://docomo-cycle.jp/chuo/) at home and check the "number of available bicycles" on nearby ports To do. Eight cars are available, so make a reservation at the port (B01) of Tepposu Children's Park, and leave the house after 8:45, the same as usual attendance time, and head to the port. When I put the bicycle number and passcode sent by e-mail at the same time as the reservation, the electronic lock opened and the bicycle could be withdrawn from the rack.

I was a little worried about running on the road because the wheels are small, but since there is an electric assist, it is enough speed to run on the road with just a little rub (by the way, stop immediately when driving on the sidewalk Please note that it is the rule to slow down (decrease enough speed) (Article 2, Paragraph 1, Item 20 of the Road Traffic Act, Article 63-4, Paragraph 2)!) 。Velib7.jpg

During this time, the roads are often congested, and it often takes about 15 minutes by taxi or bus from the Minato / Hatchobori area to Yaesu, but today it takes about half the 7 minutes I arrived at Kyobashi. On the way, there were obstacles such as cars parked and stopped on the street, but the cycling was generally good.Velib8.jpg

Insert your bicycle into the rack (B02) of Tokyo Square Garden Port along Yanagi-dori St., lock it and return it!

  

You can borrow it whenever you like and return it at your favorite place. 。 。 As the name of Vélib (Buddha: Bicycle + Free), the pleasure of sightseeing in Chuo-ku has increased by one, and I'm looking forward to using it on the weekend from now on.
