Does anybody have information on how many bike pounds there are in Osaka, what are there hours of operation, etc?

Thanks

Kam,
You’re right my friend! The city has been clamping down on bike parking a lot recently. They’ve introduced paid parking spots and increased the patrols to remove illegal bicycle parking. They still leave the notices but the chances of missing them gets a lot higher.

In one sense it is a pity as it makes using the most eco-friendly transportation more expensive.

I should update the post or write a new one to address this.

They will take your bike from wherever they please. My bikes have been removed from places everyone puts their bike, or from right next a packed parking space – they know I had no other choice. Basically like most of Osaka, it’s all about money, and this is their chance to make easy money by stea…. Taking bikes away & charging you 2,500 to get it back. This city blows chunks.

Hi,
What’s it take to get a biking permit in Osaka? I’m going there in a year for school, and so you’re blog is being very helpful to me.
