Why Cycle Tourism?
NOT USED TO CYCLING?
Don't worry, read below
1. PHYSICAL PREPARATION
The type of route chosen depends on your physical fitness, riding experience, destination and distance. By using an eBike, everything will be made easier. In fact, eBikes offer excellent support even for those with little physical preparation.
2. BIKE SIZE
If you have special requirements, please contact us.
3. SUITABLE CLOTHING
Cycling is fun, but you need suitable clothing for every season. If you are cycling long distances for the first time, we recommend shorts or underwear suitable for cycling to avoid unpleasant back burns. Also check your temperature before each start. If you do not know how to dress, do not hesitate to ask our staff for information.
4. FOR YOUR SAFETY
For carrying small items, such as wallets or cameras, we recommend small backpacks. Shoulder bags are not recommended.Clothing to avoid: skirts, scarves, sandals
5. CYCLING IN JAPAN
Remember that in Japan you must drive on the left side of the road. Traffic lights and stop signs must be obeyed at all times. Driving or cycling while intoxicated and using headphones or a mobile phone while driving is strictly prohibited by law.
6. DISTANCE TO TRAVEL
The recommended distance for your cycling trip varies depending on the altitude difference and your physical fitness. The northern area of Izu Peninsula (Izunagaoka, Numazu and Mishima) is relatively flat, but the central area (Yugashima and the Nishi Izu Skyline) has considerable differences in altitude, so the average cruising speed drops a lot. If you choose a mountain route, calculate an average speed of 15km per hour.
7. PLACES OF REFRESHMENT
Izu Peninsula is famous for its beautiful scenery, but there are very few refreshment areas in the mountain areas where food and water are available. Always carry a bottle of water and snacks with you to avoid sudden drops in energy. All our eBikes are equipped with a convenient bottle holder.
8. MECHANICAL PROBLEMS OR PUNCTURES
If you have any mechanical problems or unexpected punctures, please contact us immediately on the following number:
+81 055 948 0055
9. TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS OR VARIOUS TRAFFIC PROBLEMS
- If someone has been injured, immediately call the emergency services (number: 119)
- Request police support (number: 110). Contacting the police is required by law.
- Contact us immediately for assistance (+81-055-948-0055).
We always recommend a valid insurance policy during your stay in Japan. In case you are in an area where your mobile phone does not receive a signal, request help immediately. For more information, please consult this website.
10. YOU ARE TOO TIRED AND CANNOT GET BACK IN TIME?
You can delay your drop-off time, but any extra hours will be charged on your return. If you are still too far from one of our drop-off points and are too tired, please note that not all public transport (Tokai bus or the Izu Hakone line) allows bikes to be loaded. You can use the bicycle recovery service (paid service), but we will give priority to people who have booked. If you are not sure, one of our service cars can follow you throughout your journey (paid service). If you have any problems, please contact us as soon as possible.
11. I HAVE BROKEN MY BICYCLE. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
For all damages caused by incorrect use of the bicycle, you will be charged for repairs and/or replacement parts. Please use your bicycle with care.
Supplementary information.
- As there are large differences in physical fitness in lower primary school children, set a course of no more than 5 km and increase the distance as you see fit.
- The recommended distance varies according to the difference in altitude. The area towards Numazu and Mishima is relatively flat and therefore easy to run even over a distance, but the area towards Yugashima and the Nishi Izu Skyline has altitude differences, so care should be taken when deciding on the distance to be travelled.
- It is easier to narrow down the route if you decide on the final destination as well as the rest points (convenience stores, cafés, restaurants, etc.) you will stop at along the way.
- The average speed should be about half the actual driving speed. For an average adult, the actual running speed on flat roads is around 20-25 km. If you stop for a meal or at a café, add the stopover time to this.
- The type of ride recommended depends on your fitness, destination and distance. If in doubt, use an eBike. Our eBikes are a well-balanced range of vehicles and, although there are some restrictions based on height and limb length, we have selected a range of vehicles that are easy to drive for a fairly wide range of people.
