A tired post today as I have just returned from a 3 day trip to Tokyo and, even though the sun is shining, don't think I will be turning a pedal today - knackered.
One thing I love about Japan is their cycling culture - totally utilitarian and even the youngest children have bike handling skills that put me to shame as they dodge and weave around the masses (you do get the feeling that we are no better than ants when walking the streets of Shibuya) who busily make their way to wherever. As you'd expect with a nation that keeps a foot in both tradition and the future their is a colossal array of bike styles to ogle and 2 that caught my eye are the classic Vigore brand from Kyoto and the more futuristic commuter styling of Helmz (made by Bridgestone tyres don't-you-know). Both equally cool in their own ways.
Velly intelesting
