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 did not have a ticket but thanks to COG magazine photographer/writer @esehama I could get a ticket fro th... 続きを見る

Track Stand contest on a boat: what a great idea! Being on a cruising boat obviously added some difficulties (there were waves).Congratulations to the winner, great balance skills!(some could barely stand on their own but I think it was not only due to the waves :-))More photos and videos of the party to come, probably tomorrow... 続きを見る
This is the "Photo report" from last week bicycle event in Yokohama. (announced here last month). A very good opportunity to see cool bikes of any kind; of course I got particularly my eyes on the pista ones.The classics Kalavinka, 3Rensho, Nagasawa (etc..) were well represented.But also modern style like Starfuckers.Momo Iro Fuji Track!First time I tried the Bern helmets... Nice style but kind of heavy compared to my road race helmet...which is almost 10 years old...mmmI know they are more dedi... 続きを見る
Saturday evening I took the Feather for a ride in Yokohama, a little bit everywhere from Minato Mirai to the heights of Yamate.It was a very pleasant night.I took the Nikon D5000 with me and shoot few pics. I love this place. There is a nice mood and It is very photogenic.Many photographers were around.I tried different set-ups in manual mode. I only show few of them as the view is little bit always the same…Ok I tried an auto-portrait with the minuter… Some people looked at me strangely … ah!Th... 続きを見る

First, your blog is wonderful. Really- it is! You provide great info about many things that would otherwise go unnoticed. Thank you!
I am devastated to read about the Sekido Bashi Flea Market two days too late. I've been trying to find this type of event ever since I got here in September.
I'm dying to get on the road, but as I am a poor research student living in Tokyo, I have limited funds. So, I was wondering- do you have any advice on how I can procure a used bicycle? Ideally, I would love to join the single-speed/fixie craze, but understand that as it's in full boom I probably won't find any steals. Maybe a used high quality road bike would work? Fuji, Miyata or Nishiki?
Thank you for your time.

You have also the option to buy a second hand fuji for example, I guess it's possible to find some at less than 40000 yen (full mounted bike this time ). But if your budget is about 15000/20000 yen...it will be tuffer.
Moreover one paramater is important : your height... for example I am 182 cm tall and use 56cm frames... Pist bike with that size are less numerous and then more expensive (often) :/
