hey everyone, found my way here from Ash's post on bikeforums. someone else said there were a bunch of roadies here as well.
im visiting japan in 10 days or so and will be spending some of it in tokyo.i would love to ride around on a good road bike, but rental options look limited, and the bikes are smaller than the US (i dont want a mamchari!)
so, anyone know of any great places to rent a road bike? i'm guessing a fixed gear is impossible to find. i was advised to try Y's academy, but some sites say they don't rent bikes anymore.
alternatively, anyone interested in renting out their road or fixed gear bike for 3 days? 3000 yen a day or something? will obviously put a big deposit down upfront, or whatever else needed! i usually ride a 56 - 59 cm, but i am pretty desperate and will consider other things!
hope everyone is good, sad i am narrowly missing the tour de la pink!
