What is a tandem bicycle?

A tandem bicycle is a bicycle with two seats, front and rear, and two sets of pedals. This is a bicycle with a unique system in which two people work together to pedal the bicycle.

The two of us breathe together

Unlike regular single-seater bicycles, tandem bicycles require two people to work together in unison to run well. It may seem a little difficult at first, but you'll soon get used to it. Cycling together as a couple or with friends will give you an experience unlike any other bicycle, and you'll definitely have fun memories.

Cycling is OK on public roads

Until now, tandem bicycles were allowed to be ridden only in parks in Japan, but now they can also be ridden on public roads.

Visually impaired people can also cycle

The unique feature of tandem bicycles is that even people with visual impairments can ride in the back seat and enjoy cycling. The feeling of riding a bicycle through the wind can only be experienced by those who have ridden one. If you are a visually impaired person, a Tokyo Backstreets Bike Tour guide will ride in front of you, but if you are with a sighted person, that person will ride in front of you.

Tokyo Backstreets Bike Tour

Tokyo

Tokyo Backstreets Bike Tour is a company that operates cycling tours around Asakusa, which is also the downtown area of Tokyo. The tour areas include the Asakusa area around Sensoji Temple, Ryogoku, and Fukagawa, all of which retain the atmosphere of the Edo period. At the same time, you will also run through modern landscapes such as the Tokyo Sky Tree. This contrast between old and new is what makes Tokyo Backstreets Bike Tour so appealing. There are two basic tours: a 4-hour afternoon tour, and a slightly more compact 2.5-hour morning tour. In addition to these, there are tours that take a one-way water bus and visit places such as Tsukiji Outer Market while enjoying seafood bowls at seaside restaurants, and tours that run from Asakusa to Nihonbashi, Ginza, the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Tower, Meiji Shrine, etc. We also offer one-way tours that end at the Shibuya Scramble Crossing. A major feature of this tour is that it travels not only through tourist spots, but also through alleys in residential areas and nostalgic shopping streets. The maximum capacity for one group is 4 people, but if you would like to have more than 5 people, please contact us in advance and we may be able to accommodate you. Our guide is Takeshi, who has participated in bicycle tours around the world and has experience creating overseas guidebooks, and will tell you about the charms of Tokyo that cannot be found on the website. We look forward to your participation.
