April 3rd is Share Cycle Day! Please use safely and securely by observing traffic rules.

Today, "April 3rd," is "Share Cycle Day"!

OpenStreet Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Tomohiro Kudo, hereinafter "OpenStreet"), which is a member of the General Incorporated Association Japan Share Cycle Association (Chairman: Munenori Koga, hereinafter "Japan Share Cycle Association"), applied to the General Incorporated Association Japan Anniversary Association (Representative Director: Kiyoshi Kase) and had it established as an anniversary in January 2024. April 3rd became Share Cycle Day due to the wordplay of "She (4) a sa (3) i-ku-ru" and because many people start using it as a new means of transportation at the beginning of the new life season.

Now, the Japan Share Cycle Association and share mobility operators affiliated with the association have produced an awareness video on the safe use of bicycles.

Please watch the awareness video and take this opportunity to review bicycle traffic rules again.
