Hello all,
I am very glad that I found this forum. I am writing here because I
seek your advice and hope that someone will help me.
I live in Tokyo and am interested in getting into cycling. I currently
rely on running for my cardiovascular workouts, but would like to try
cycling instead. Also, I would like to try multiday long distance
cycling around rural Japan if possible.
The biggest problem that I have is actually purchasing a bicycle.
While I live in Tokyo, I live in a very remote part of Tokyo (in fact,
it's just a technicality that I can say that I live in Tokyo!) called
Ogasawara. Ogasawara is a very small island chain and we have no
bicycle shops here. I do not get to return to the mainland often as
transport is limited to a 25 hour weekly ferry ride, so I get back
about 3 times a year.
I want to start cycling ASAP and plan to try to buy something and have
it sent here. So here is my question: Where is a good place to buy a
bicycle in Tokyo or Japan that I can have sent to me partially or
fully assembled? I am budgeting between 50,000 and 80,000 JPY.
Thank you for your help,
Alan
