HAMA BIKE - PARTY TIME (0)


Today I spent the day in Yokohama near the Symbol Tower, deep in the port of Yokohama where took place the Geared Up event.
A kind of race for pro messengers supported by Red Bull and other brands for rewards. I'll develop that later in an other article. Thing is I took more than 600 photos! o_O.
For now I propose you the last set of pics related to the Hama Bike event, that was 2 weeks ago.

I am not sure but I think the boat idea was his, Momoiro Chari San! (sorry I don't know your real name....)

OSAKA CYCLEMODE 2011 - TRIATHLON BIKES

Last Saturday I took the train at 6AM for a day in Osaka, needless to say it is very unusual I wake up before the sun in Japan but that was worth it.My plan was to visit the Cyclemode show in Osaka. Previous years you could see on my blog that I visited the Tokyo edition. Now I live closer to Osaka, plus that was a good opportunity to visit a little bit the city again. My first steps in Japan were in Osaka in 2005 but I haven't been back since then! Anyway I took of course lots of pics at t... Read more

RANDOM BICYCLES FROM 2011

I just found this folder of pics that I collected through the year. As I am living now in the countryside I have, needless to say (way) less opportunities to stumble upon cool bikes... So this kind of post might get seriously rare on this blog... unless someone is willing to share his bikes shots from any city of Japan! I would totally accept someone to post here if he wants... The blog is still very well ranked in google for searches about tokyo/japan and fixed gears/fixie etc etc... I am more... Read more

HILL CLIMB IN DAISEN - BICYCLE RACE

For those... Read more

TRIATHLON TRAINING, THE FIRST 2 MONTHS

Already more than 2 months have passed since I've started to train again.First month I focused on short distances on running, with 7 sessions around 5-6 km just trying to keep a constant rhythm but never trying to push it. I also added 6 cycling trainings and just one swim training.The goal was to reboot the body, sort of speaking, I just followed my feelings and never cared so much about the speed. I was just enjoying my return to the sport (I still do).I train often around Togo lake with my bi... Read more

TRIATHLETE EQUIPMENT ROOM - NOT MINE THOUGH :-(

Just a short post before to go to bed for the equipment geek among us :I stumbled upon this video today. Helle Frederiksen, pro-triathlete from Denmark presents us her equipment room, quite impressive (if you are into endurance multi-sports that said...)Now I wonder how she can keep it so clean! :-) Read more
