B: Nah, what's up?
A: There was this cool thing happening! They opened Rainbow Bridge for cyclists!
B: No way! That's awesome! Was it a big crowd?
A: Yeah, around 6,000 people joined the event. It's usually off-limits for bikes, so this was quite special.
B: Whoa, that must have been an amazing view! Did you hear about anyone famous joining?
A: Yeah, there was a guy named Fujimoto Musashi. He won bronze in the men's road race at the Tokyo Deaflympics!
B: That's cool! Who else went?
A: Lots of regular folks like us! An 11-year-old kid said it was his second time, and he loved seeing the morning glow on the buildings.
B: Nice! I bet they had a great time. Was it only one course or were there options?
A: There were three different courses, from 8 to 37 kilometers long. All of them crossed Rainbow Bridge!
B: Oh, cool! I wonder if they could see Mount Fuji from up there.
A: Yeah, some said they did! One lady who's been four times said it was fun seeing the mountain while riding a bike instead of in a car.
B: That sounds like an unforgettable experience! I hope we can do it next time they open it up again!
