This puppy here

It's called a mamachari.

Literally, that means...mom chariot.

從字面上看，就是......媽媽戰車的意思。

She may not look like much at first.

她可能一開始看起來不太像。

You might think this is just a regular bike,

但你會錯了。

The mamachari gives me robot legs.

This is an electric assist bike, and that means when I pedal,

They're not like a moped, you don't require like an extra license to get this.

這簡直是電池供電到踏板。

The first time we saw these was in Kobe.

第一次看到這些是在神戶。

We saw this little, tiny Japanese mom

我們看到這個小小的日本媽媽

biking up a gigantic hill.

騎車上一個巨大的山坡。

She was a mom with two kids

她是一個帶著兩個孩子的媽媽

one kid in the front, one kid in the back

一個孩子在前面，一個孩子在後面。

and she did not have gigantic, buff legs.

她沒有巨大的，光潔的腿。

She was just a thin, little mom!

她只是一個瘦弱的小媽媽!

And she was going up this hill

她要上山了

without breaking a sweat.

毫不費力

Without standing up.

沒有站起來。

You know when you have to like stand up to make it up a hill?

你知道當你要站起來才能上山嗎？

We thought Japanese women are apparently extremely buff and very thin.

我們以為日本女人顯然是極度柔弱的，而且很瘦。

We just didn't know that this bike actually existed.

我們只是不知道這個自行車真的存在。

It's for moms in Japan to go to their groceries,

是給日本的媽媽們去買菜的。

to pick up their kids,

來接他們的孩子。

and it is basically their vehicle.

而且基本上是他們的交通工具。

And now that we have these,

現在我們有了這些。

I understand why they're amazing.

我明白為什麼他們很厲害了。

We don't need a car.

我們不需要車

We use our bikes to do all the grocery shopping, to carry our heavy gear,

我們用自行車去買菜，搬運重物。

to put our dog in to take him to the vet.

把我們的狗在帶他去獸醫。

It's amazing.

Now, having bionic robot legs is not cheap.

These bikes go for around a thousand bucks and the price goes, of course, higher

這些自行車的價格在一千塊錢左右，當然價格會更高

depending on the kind you got.

However, you can't just walk into the store and just buy one that day and walk out with it.

There is a process.

有一個過程。

Bike fact:

自行車事實。

You are not allowed to ride your bike drunk.

你不能醉醺醺地騎車。

Don't think about it. It's against the law.

不要去想它。這是違法的。

And if a police officer catches you, you get in trouble.

如果警察抓到你，你就會有麻煩。

So don't do it.

所以，不要這樣做。

[funky music is back]

[時髦音樂回來了]

So, when we bought our bikes it was a bit of a weird process.

所以，當我們買自行車的時候，過程有點奇怪。

Because we went to Yodobashi, which is this big electronics store

因為我們去了Yodobashi，這是一個大的電子商店。

and when we bought our bikes, we gave them a thousand dollars for each bike.

我們買車的時候，每輛車給了他們一千塊錢。

And then they wound up saying, "Ok, we'll give you your bike in four days,"

然後他們就說，"好吧，我們四天後給你自行車"。

and I was thought, hold on a second this is really weird.

我想，等一下，這真的很奇怪。

Usually, I give you money, you give me the thing, and then our relationship is over.

一般情況下，我給你錢，你給我東西，然後我們的關係就結束了。

But it didn't work that way.

但它並沒有這樣做。

We had to fill out a form with our names and with our addresses and our identification

我們必須填寫一份表格，上面有我們的名字，還有我們的地址和我們的身份證明。

because they had to register our bike first with the local authorities.

因為他們必須先在當地政府登記我們的自行車。

So, all of our bikes have stickers on them with ID numbers,

所以，我們所有的自行車上都貼有身份證號碼。

and like even QR codes.

和喜歡甚至二維碼。

And we're not gonna show you all that specific information because I'm not sure if you can hack into us that way

我們不會給你看所有的具體資訊 因為我不確定你能不能通過這種方式黑進我們的網站

so I'm just gonna keep that all blurred out.

所以，我只是要保持 所有模糊了。

Now, there are a couple of reasons to register your bikes with the local authorities.

現在，有幾個理由讓你的自行車在當地政府登記。

And one of those reasons is if you lose your bike or if it gets stolen.

而其中一個原因就是如果你的自行車丟了或者被偷了。

Because then the police can find your bike a lot easier if it's registered to your name and address.

因為這樣一來，如果你的自行車登記在你的名下和地址上，警察找你的自行車就容易多了。

So be careful if you wind up buying a secondhand bike from somebody.

所以，如果你風風火火地從別人那裡買了一輛二手自行車，就要小心了。

You can't just give them money and get your bike.

你不能只給他們錢，就能拿到你的自行車。

There has to be this whole transfer process

必須有這個整個轉移過程

or it might look like you've stolen someone's bike.

或者你看起來像偷了別人的自行車。

Now, even though there are tons of bikes in Japan

現在，雖然日本有大量的自行車。

bike theft here isn't really as big of an issue as it was for me back in say, Toronto.

在這裡，自行車盜竊並不像我在多倫多那樣是個大問題。

From what we've read, most of the theft that happens is kind of accidental.

從我們讀到的資料來看，大部分發生的盜竊事件都是一種意外。

So like if someone's really really drunk, they'll grab the bike that they think is their's

所以，如果有人真的真的喝醉了， 他們會搶自行車 他們認為是他們的。

and it winds up being yours by accident.

結果卻意外地變成了你的。

So, that kind of is what's more common when it comes to theft.

所以，這種就是比較常見的盜竊的時候。

Which is why you should lock your bike up.

這就是為什麼你應該把自行車鎖起來。

And it's really easy, you don't actually have to buy a true lock

而且真的很簡單，你其實不需要買一把真鎖

a lot of bikes come with built-in locks, you see, at the back tires.

很多自行車都有內置鎖，你看，在後輪胎。

So you have your little key that pops in and out.

所以你有你的小鑰匙，彈進彈出。

Super cool!

超酷！

See, I told you this was a cool video!

你看，我告訴你這是一個很酷的視頻！

We've seen lots of police officers stop bikes that don't have lights on them

so make sure you head on over to Daiso, put on a $1 light at least

所以你一定要去大創，至少點上1美元的燈。

and don't break the law.

而不要違法。

[funky music playing

[時髦的音樂播放

[M] Let's talk bike parking in Japan.

[M]我們來談談日本的自行車停放問題。

If you don't want to have your bike either towed away

如果你不想讓你的自行車要麼被拖走，要麼被拖走

or ticketed, you need to park in a legal bike parking spot.

或被開罰單，你需要把車停在合法的自行車停車位上。

If you try to park in just any ol' location in the streets of Tokyo, you're gonna get a ticket

如果你想把車停在東京街頭的任何一個地方，你會被開罰單。

and when they put the ticket on your bike,

當他們把票據放在你的自行車上時，

you could take it and you could tear it up and throw it in the wind and say

你可以拿著它，你可以把它撕碎，扔在風中說

"I'm not gonna pay for this!"

"我不會為這個付錢的！"

but guess what? Your bike is registered to your home address so

但你猜怎麼著？你的自行車是登記在你的家庭地址，所以

they're just gonna mail you that bike ticket and you're gonna have to pay for it anyway.

他們只是要去郵寄你的自行車票 你要去必須支付它反正。

Now this kind of parking lot is the most basic kind of bike parking.

現在這種停車場是最基本的一種自行車停車場。

It's open. It's usually near like a park or behind like a major building like Yodobashi

它是開放的。 通常是在公園附近或者是像澱橋這樣的大型建築後面

or Don Quijote.

或唐吉訶德。

And it's open to the elements so if you leave your bike here all day and it gets rained upon...

而且它是開放的元素，所以如果你把你的自行車在這裡一整天，它被雨淋... ...

that's gonna kind of suck.

這是要去種吸。

So here's how it works:

所以，這就是它的工作原理。

Every single parking spot has a number.

每一個停車位都有一個編號。

You come up with your bike and you put your bike into the area and you push it hard enough until

你帶著你的自行車來到這裡，把你的自行車放到這個區域，然後你把它推得足夠大，直到

you see this kind of like, lock mechanism go over your bike tire.

你看這種像，鎖定機制 去你的自行車輪胎。

Go out and do your business.

出去做你的生意。

And then when you come back, take a look to see what your number is

然後當你回來的時候，看看你的號碼是多少？

in this case, my number is 197.

在這種情況下，我的號碼是197。

You head over to the pay machine, you type in 197, enter, and it will tell you how much you owe.

你到支付機前，輸入197，回車，它會告訴你你欠了多少錢。

So a lot of places are free for the first two hours

所以很多地方前兩個小時是免費的。

and then after that they'll charge you sometimes $1 an hour, sometimes $2 an hour.

然後在那之後，他們會向你收費，有時一小時1元，有時一小時2元。

It really depends on the place. You can take a look at the sign.

這真的要看地方。你可以看一下牌子。

The most that we have ever paid for bike parking in Japan was $7 and

在日本，我們為自行車停車支付的最多的費用是7美元和

that's because we left our bikes there overnight and got them the next afternoon.

那是因為我們把自行車留在那裡過夜 第二天下午就拿到了。

'Cause we drank too much so we missed the subway home

因為我們喝多了，所以錯過了回家的地鐵。

So we couldn't actually...[mumbles]

所以我們實際上不能... [喃喃自語]

Anyways, so 7 bucks isn't that bad.

反正，所以7塊錢也不差。

Most of the time it's either free if we go for groceries or it costs us like a buck or two.

大多數時候，如果我們去買菜，要麼是免費的，要麼就是花一兩塊錢。

Bike fact:

自行車事實。

Bikes in Japan can bike on the sidewalk and also on the road

日本的自行車可以在人行道上騎，也可以在馬路上騎。

but you're not supposed to treat your bike like a car in the sense that,

但你不應該把你的自行車像汽車一樣對待，在這個意義上。

if you come to an intersection, and you wanna turn with all the cars because there's no one coming,

如果你來到一個十字路口，你想和所有的車一起轉彎，因為沒有人過來。

you're actually supposed to cross the crosswalk with everybody else.

你實際上應該過人行道 與其他人。

So yeah, that kinda sucks.

所以，是的，這還挺爛的。

But you know what, no one's coming [whispers]...just go for it.

但你知道嗎，沒有人會來[小聲說]......就去吧。

I didn't say that.

我可沒這麼說

I did.

我有
