Hemingway

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle. 

 ~Ernest Hemingway

Reports are that the road over Mt. Shirane/Shibu Toge is open
as the volcanic danger level has been lowered this year.
