Our intro and Q from my kid:
Q1. Where are you posting from today? If you needed any motivation, what's something that motivated you to ride this week?
Q1. Tokyo, Japan. My motivation was to get out on the river and enjoy the sakura while it was in bloom! (See my response to No. 8.)
@oheso @ascentale @bikenite Oh it's peak here too, particularly at our most famous location at the Quad on UW main campus. I biked along some genuinely spectacular neighbourhood strands on the way to Remote Site on Thursday, too. It's looking like a good year in this way, at least. <3
@moira @ascentale @bikenite TV is showing views now from Ueno Park. Of course the sakura there are lovely. Having experienced Ueno Park during hanami (sakura viewing season), I can promise that I would not willingly do so again.
@oheso @ascentale @bikenite That's not something I ever did, so I can only imagine the mob. While obviously it's not close to like that here, it's still a big enough deal that local publications publish guides on how to avoid the crowds:
