Building cross training into the schedule

Tokyo, Week 2, Day 6; 10km on a bike.

Today I had to go into the office, so instead of assuming my strap hanger pose I decided to make the 5km distance trek on bike to cover my cross training for the week. I learned two things today. First, Tokyo is damn hilly (something I learned more on the uphill parts than on the downhill parts). Second, having to frequently stop for red lights, other bikes, pedestrians, cars, etc., is really annoying. It's much easier to avoid that when running because you can just turn a bit up the street while waiting, but that's not so easy on a bike. I wonder if there's a path somewhere around here that I can bike on without needing to stop so much.
