Hi fellow riders,
I'm 50 and have been living in Japan since '93 (married, 2 teenage kids). I got into bikes at age 17 and did 7500 km in 5 months one year when I was in high school. Later I got into cars and became lazy.
After moving to Japan I cycled on mamachari or a MTB, later a freebie folder we got from Softbank.
Finally, after moving to Setagaya, Tokyo where my son bought himself a road bike and I virtually stopped using the car I got serious about cycling again and bought a Pocket Rocket (Bike Friday), which I'm greatly enjoying.
I'm more after hours and distance (getting a good workout) than speed and have never raced. Trusting Google Maps on my Android phone I venture out into the unknown to explore, knowing I can always find home again
