>>1325847Between me and the hills - Arashiyama . This is nothing, during peak cherry blossom and peak autumn leaves times it's much much worse, it's get off the bike and push. Go with the flow, there's no point in being a dick and tourists are, essentially, paying customers and without them the infrastructure wouldn't survive. For the greater part of the year it's a quiet. relaxed ride -- a rest before the hills. I could miss the super busy times but what I like is listening -- Chinese, German, American, French, Australian, Italian, Korean, British, many I don't recognise... maybe even norks. Go with the flow.
