Tokyo Motorcycle Rides Episode 4 | The Mask and The Lockdown

Tokyo's 'soft lockdown' has completed it's first full week. Anybody else stir crazy yet? We Ride! Today we are riding the Vespa into the normally bustling neighborhood of Ikebukuro for a little fresh air and a coffee to go! We'll get into a little discussion about the state of affairs here in Tokyo including the contested topic of Masks and the lockdown. Hop on!

While we as a global whole are still trying to make sense of what's unfolding and getting used to a new normal, I hope you too are finding more about yourself and and what it means to have family and great friends in these tough times!

Ikebukuro is a one stop megahood for great food, shopping, entertainment (Kids and Adults; ahem) the Pokémon store and so much more.

CONSIDER BUYING ME A COFFEE!🤗

Just a little clarification regarding the masks. They are not designed to protect you from the virus. Unless your using a specific type of mask that’s been specifically designed and fitted to your face, like what we use in the medical field, they are no good in keeping the virus out. These masks are to contain your sneezes, coughs and thus creating less fomites (vectors that the virus lives on, like sneezing on a hand rail and thus contaminating it). Any type of mask and mask material, including cotton, will help with this. Wearing a mask protects others from you, not the other way around :)

Tokyo in lockdown looks like Auckland on a busy day 😂. ATM with our strict lockdown rules you could longboard down the motorway, it’s almost empty.

9:17 The B Ikebukuro is the hotel I stayed in last May. Ikebukuro is a cool part of Tokyo with lots of shops and restaurants. It's also easy to get anywhere from there because it's on the Yamanote line.

Thanks Peter. Great perspective for me to be able to see Tokyo from your bike. I’m in Nagoya and the soft lockdown condition is similar. I’m still working so get to ride my bike a little. I always enjoy your work.
