【夏の花火大会☆2025】
NPCの夏は花火大会からスタート
レインボーブリッジや東京タワーを眺めながら夜の海辺でワイワイ花火しに行くよー☆
久しぶりの湾岸エリアライド楽しみ!お気に入りの花火持ち寄って集合っ!(打ち上げ以外)
7/19(土) 青山国連大前17:30集合、18:00スタート
Fireworks ride - Night Pedal Cruising
When:
- We will meet at 17:30 and then start the ride at 18:00. If you are there, you are welcome to join us in the ride. We will not pass an attendee list. So please be on time.
Where:
- You'll find us in front of United Nations University. There is a farmers market on Saturday afternoons and we meet on the sidewalk. Just look out for people with bicycles (some of them strange, e.g. tall bikes).
Route:
- we will ride out to Odaiba to a place wheree small fireworks can be lit
Duration of ride:
- The duration of the ride will depend on our speed and route, but you can drop off anytime during the ride (just let someone know so we don't think we lost you). 3-4 h is a good estimate.
- We will stop during the ride for a rest.
- Please note that in Japan you cannot bring a bicycle on the train without it being in a bag.
What to bring:
- a bicycle (with lights)
If you don't have a bicycle, you could rent one, e.g. with docomo: http://docomo-cycle.jp/shibuya/en/
- small fireworks or you can buy at a conbini during the ride
Speed / Fitness / Skills required
- Riding speed is very relaxed
- But you need to be fine with riding on busy (and not so busy) Tokyo streets.
Note, while tourists are welcome, this is not a guided tour, but a night ride through Tokyo with friendly locals and a few foreign residents (depending on actual attendees this night).
