You can ride a bicycle
across six Japanese islands.
43 miles of ocean below you.
Six giant suspension bridges
built specifically for cyclists.
You start in Hiroshima.
You finish in Ehime.
Along the way:
sleepy fishing villages,
lemon farms,
soft-serve ice cream stands at every port,
the sea breeze in every direction.
Not a race.
Not a tour.
Just you, a bike,
and an entire chain of islands
the country built a road over
so anyone could see them.
It might be the best ride on Earth.
