- Japanese mothers frequently rely on bicycles to get around town and a unique type of bike called mamachari exists which is specially designed for the mom on the go. These bikes usually include one or more child seats as well as room for carrying large bags. Some mamachari even include special battery-assisted drives to help Okasan climb tough hills when carrying a full load of kids and groceries.
🚶♂️"Japan Mamachari Bicycles on Parade" shines a light on a ubiquitous sight in Japanese urban and suburban landscapes: the mamachari bicycle. This episode from Softypapa Adventures delves into the world of these practical and beloved bicycles, engineered specifically to cater to the needs of mothers (Okasan) and families on the move.
Mamachari, a term affectionately derived from "mama" and "chariot," are designed with the ultimate practicality in mind. These bicycles are a testament to Japan's thoughtful approach to everyday life, providing a convenient, eco-friendly mode of transportation that supports the busy lifestyle of Japanese mothers. Featuring one or more child seats, ample space for carrying groceries or school bags, and often equipped with battery-assisted drives, mamachari are engineered to navigate the challenges of urban mobility with ease.
This episode takes viewers on a journey through the streets of Japan, where mamachari can be seen in abundance, ferrying children to school, running errands, or simply enjoying a leisurely ride through the neighborhood. The sight of these bicycles, often lined up in colorful arrays outside schools, parks, and shopping centers, embodies the community-oriented and family-friendly spirit of Japanese society.
"Japan Mamachari Bicycles on Parade" not only celebrates the ingenuity and practicality of these bicycles but also highlights the role they play in fostering a sustainable, active lifestyle among families. Through the lens of Softypapa Adventures, viewers gain an appreciation for the simple yet profound ways in which mamachari enrich the daily lives of those who ride them. 🚲👩👧👦🚶♂️

i like this vid. i also like those bikes!
I want one.
They are relatively cheap too compare to lightweight racing type.
*giggles* Nice trick at the end! It was interesting to see so many bikes- and so many white hats, curiously. All the kids were of course quite young, I wonder if it was the shrine, or the time of day, or what. Thanks for posting! ~Kat
Go mamas!!
In my last trip to japan, i saw hundreds of girls riding bikes at 6:30 pm all of them with withe helmets and uniforms, does anybody knows what are they doing at that time riding bycicles everyday?? thanks for your answers.
I love this video.
I don't see softypapa any more.
I'm still here. Thanks for watching. :-)
How fun! What if you have 3 kids? =)
what bicycles parade? for new mother and grandmother? and what they saying?
珍妙ではありませんよ。 心温まる光景です。 長い事海外居住で、これほど日本のお母さんが沢山子供を迎えに来るのを視て，少子化問題が嘘の様にも見えますが．．．そうであればよいのですがね．外国人は皆此の光景をうらやましいと思っていますよ。
i dont see emily and mom in the video i can see mother and child were your ?
Yes, the inventor and maker of the blog mamachari or mamabicycle is actually a single dad with two girls, who rides with them in these all the time.
WELCOME BACK!!!! Ofcourse great vid and cant wait for more. Also glad to see that u have free time again.
Thank you! Arigato gosaimasu! This is the greatest video. I am so ashamed of being American!
Moms in America have a pretty high tendency to be obese, and so do their children. Japan's obesity rate is what, 3.4%? America's is about ten times that. Aside from obvious food differences, maybe American moms (and Americans in general) can take a page from these Japanese women.
I don't know why Japanese mamachari bikes are here in the Philippines.
So i guess they are smarter! Economically and environmentally wise too! :D
And what would be better..add a trailer. Could haul more that way.
There's one ebike
Sexy (sexy because it's eco-friendly)
