I'm planning to visit Tokyo next year. Looking forward to it. Thanks CheapyD for the inside out view -)

CheapyD, you need to form a bike gang!!!! DO IT, DO IT NOW!!!!

Anyone one else here the biking theme from Punch-out in their heads when looking at these's pics?

Seems fun. And that's a shit load of bikes.

You sure you are in Tokyo Instead of Beijing / Shanghai? Anyway. Cheapy, Have you met any Gaijin from US who say "Hey's it's you, the guy from CheapArse!!!"?

your bike could use some tassles and a basket, a horn would look cool too

This thread is almost ready for preschool. Why the bump now?

Also, is Cheapy in better shape yet?

Dang, nice orange bike. Are beach cruisers cool in Japan or unpractical? Thats all we ride around here.

You bought a mountain bike to get around on paved streets? Jeeeeeze, that's what they make road bikes for.

Anyway, since you've got the bike, now you need some books. Start with Zinn and the art of Mountain Bike Repair.

gasoline powered RC cars.

Gyro planes is a common sight in Japan. Also Biking is the main transportation in China and India for most people. Owning a car is a luxary in Japan like me owning a Air Conditioner when I don't need one.

That's nothing compared to amsterdam, take a look at this:


Basically bikes everywhere there. Although it would surprise me if 10% of the people living in Amsterdam ride the bikes they bought themselves...
People get their bicycles stolen and they just nick another one and keep on riding.

Japan looks pretty frickin cool man! Stop shoving all this in our faces!!!

Do they not get stolen all the time over there?

Giant makes some pretty nice hybrid bikes which work well for both off-terrain and roads. I've had mine for almost 10 years and have had very few problems with it... at least until I got hit by a car. I just wish the US was more biker friendly.

One day, I will move to Tokyo... one day...
