About the original map
Original map cover image to be distributed
Five young station staff who usually work at different stations - Inagi-Nagumanuma Station on the Nambu Line, Musashi-Sakai Station, Higashi-Koganei Station, Nishi-Kokubunji Station, and Kunitachi Station on the Chuo Line - formed a project to create a cycling map that connects each line. The map introduces the nature, culture, and recommended shops of the Tama area from the perspective of station staff who know the area well.
There are two routes listed, one connecting Inagi-Nagumanuma Station and the other connecting Kunitachi Station. Be sure to check out the shops and sights in Inagi City along the route!
2. Lecture event on "Rinko" - how to carry bicycles on trains
A Nambu Line staff member will demonstrate how to pack a bicycle onto a train.
3. Road bike and cross bike test run booths
We will have a test run booth where even those with no experience of road bikes or cross bikes can try them out.
4. Road bike riding course (pre-registration required)
This is a lesson on how to ride road bikes safely, run by CYCLE COMMUNE TOKYO (CC TOKYO), a members-only community that connects people to enjoy cycling. (These lessons are also open to non-members.)
The instructor will be a former professional road racer. Beginners, as well as experienced cyclists, can participate as an opportunity to check their own riding skills. Advance applications are accepted until Thursday, September 26th.
Please take this course and enjoy a safe and fulfilling cycling life. And please try out the courses shown on the original maps that will be distributed at this event!
