There are many things to love about the kimono, the elegant traditional robe that just screams “Japan”. But beautiful and steeped in tradition as it is, the kimono is not without its accompanying inconveniences: its long skirt, which stays pencil-straight right down to the floor, provides almost no wiggle-room and prevents the wearer from running…or even walking particularly fast, unless in comically short strides. Riding a bicycle, too, has long been out of the question – until now.

It’s amazing how they can ride the bike with the kimonos. When I lived there, I used to be amazed at how they can do that. Or even walk with those slippers 😄

Don’t see many people in kimono on bicycle outside Kyoto! Here, they usually walk, drive or take the train when they’re in kimono.

No not many. But I do remember seeing one in my whole six yrs living in Tokyo. But I think she was walking with the bike 😄
