Dear all,
I am here for a 6month secondment, based in Akasaka. Having commuted throughout the winter I am missing the whole of the UK summer season. I didn't think that it was worth shipping my road bike over for 6months, especially as I will be spending most weekends out/travelling. I had made my peace with this but having brought my cleats and a load of shorts I have found that my gym doesn't have a spin/watt bike. I am pretty annoyed and spent most of last week googling spin classes around central Tokyo without much success.
I was looking for some help on a few points:
a) Does anyone know of a spin class/somewhere I can get access to a clip-in static bike for the next 6 months that isn't going to be hugely expensive? This is really just to keep fit - I had resigned myself to not doing much on the road but had assumed I'd be able to ride indoors.
b) If there are no static bikes available then if there are any rental places which will be able to sort me out for a few weekends (again without killing my bank balance)
c) Would it be worth buying a bike if b) is a terrible option?
Appreciate any help - if I do end up getting something out on the road I'd be very keen to join up with rides that take in some countryside!
Thanks a lot in advance.
