GOPRO HD ON BICYCLE - MORNING COMMUTE (4)




Oooops...one month without any update, I think it's my "record" this year... It's not that I don't have anything to upload on the contrary but I was busy at work with UltraSuperNew building stuff for Red Bull Japan and I started to train for the Tokyo Marathon next February and I also started a personal side project :  an app/service for cyclists [I can't say too much now cause I am still in the early stage of development and I might change the idea a bit during dev...anyway...].

Enough bla bla, I received this week the Go Pro HD camera, you know the one that we can see currently almost everywhere on the net in Google ads (at least on the pages I visit...).
This is a cool toy for the geeks and cyclists like me :-) 



I ordered it on their homepage directly, current ratio yen/dollar being good for me.



This 2 pictures were shot with the iPhone using the Instagram app. Quite addictive filtering app. I guess I'll get bored of these filters at some point but for now I am quite hooked to them !

So here is my first video with the cam. I think it's a cool way to show you the streets of Japan.

Nice video and excelent music! You should try different perspectives! I would love to see more of the landscape while you are riding.

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

Results here : Hill Climb in Daisen - ResultsOn October 16, I took part in the Hill Climb in Daisen. An event organized by the Tottori Cycling Association.

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
