私の自転車

This is my bike, 自転車 (jitensha), which literally reads "self revolve vehicle". It's not a great bike, but it has one very important feature, a basket. The bike helps me get around my neighborhood faster and is a boon to grocery shopping. Riding a bike in Tokyo can be adventuresome too, trying to avoid the many pedestrians while keeping your eyes open for cars. This bike is actually a little too small for me even with the seat at max height. I guess you get what you pay for, but at least it came with a basket.
