Yes. Sometimes it even seems like the pendulum has swung to much in the bicycle's favour in Japan, when you can't change directly quickly on a sidewalk for fear of gettin hit by the bicycle that's inevitably coming up fast behind you. But I think it's totally worth it. I love the Japanese bicycle culture. That mall was such a joy to ride through. Riding on a bike on a warmish day (yesterday in Kyoto it touched 15C) through a Japanese city is just the most brilliant thing you can do.
