Just arrived to Tokyo on 14 July and been riding on the Trail by the river. It is lovely. My girlfriend is working at the Univ. of Tokyo and we plan on touring Japan on our bicycles. I recently purchased a recumbent from John D. Dennis (Japanese Cycling Navigator) from Kanawaza and it is wonderful. I have several Vision recumbents back home in Minnesota but this one is a high racer with skinny tires (23-571...650 x 23c) and I am not familiar with these kinds of tires. Recently I have started having trouble with flats and have repaired several tubes but they puncture rapidly or the patches do not hold. The Wheel rim may have some kinda of abrasion and I would like a bike shop to look at it. I need some new tubes and some wheel rim tape. I have walked around the local bike shops and have not had much luck. I do not know any Japanese. I am staying at the Sakura House Motohasunuma and would like to know how I can go about finding local bike shops, I now have internet access (NWA destroyed my PC laptop on 14 July). Any help would be great. If I get the tire fixed I would love to go or meet for a ride!!!! John
