Hi all. Name is Joe and I just moved here from San Francisco, CA. Currently living in Ooami (south east chiba ken near the coast). I studied abroad here for a year in college and lived in Tokyo at that time. Wanted to be a bit more rural for this stay.
Anyway, I was a bike messenger for a year in SF and I ride track bikes, or fixed gears/fixie if you want to call it that (but those words seriously make me cringe). But, I ride them cross country, up and down mountains and everywhere else. Cant explain it, but I love them. Theyre just fun I guess.
Im amazed at how easy it is to traverse Japan. I rode from Ooami to Chiba and back without ever looking at a map. Going to try and ride to Tokyo and back tomorrow I think.
If anyone lives and rides within Chibaken we should get together.
