Japanese Train Station Parking Lot Packed Full of Bikes
August 17, 2008 · Print This Article
This is pure awesome – and we need a lot more of this in the U.S. It’s a bicycle parking lot outside a train station in Japan, a country where this is quite a common sight. Imagine if Americans were as gung-ho about riding bikes everywhere as the Japanese, the Chinese or the Dutch – we’d all be so much healthier and happier, and our country would be a hell of a lot cleaner.
It would be hard to remember where you parked, though. “Remember, kids – GOOFY D!”
