  Sure, the all street in Tokyo doesn't cover with names just like in London especially in alley way, therefore if you can't find the direction on the road, try to get any main street which takes where ever you would like to be.

  • Cycling around Tsukiji-Market where can observe the main Tuna action in Tokyo. (the fish men who works there push you with their bike sometimes as they seems so busy to carry around the fish, but don't take it as personal they are alright.)

  it's placed in the Tokyo bay area and Hamarikyu - Garden is 5 minutes cycling distance from Tsukiji-market where you can experienced Japanese Tea Ceremony with 500yen (3pound) and to get in the garden is 300yen(2pound).

  After all, cycling to Mita-area (10 minutes cycling distance )where close to Tower of Tokyo and you can stop by at standing bar (called 'Tachinomi Bar'. the one street is covered with many Standing bars) for a drink. There are International school in this area so probably can find english menu also.

  It's near the Akasaka where the english pub places as well,
  Have a nice trip !

  Been looking at getting a fixed-gear/single speed bike for a while.

  Any advice greatly received.

  Cheers
