In September I cycled the Shimanami Kaido in Japan. It’s the cycle route that connects a number of Japanese islands, and was very much the highlight of the holiday.
One of the many bridges that form the Shimanami KaidoThe hybrid bike I hired to do this trip. It’s quite similar to my commuting bike at home.Most of the route was coastal, so there was plenty of opportunity for looking at beautiful sceneryI wish we had more time to spend a few hours on one of these beachesSome bridges had to be crossed internally. It was a strange feeing cycling through this one completely alone.The same bridge from the outsideThe weather was very hot, so I had to drink a lot of my Japanese drink of choice.
