Every Day Adventurers

Ross and I landed in Tokyo about 18 hours ago. We’re here to do some local promotional events, and to learn a little more about Japanese bike culture. I’ve posted a few photos from our first hours. I am running perilously low on sleep, but the simple fare must be doing me well, my energy remains good.

Today we are meeting up with Rie and Shuji and around 25 Xtracycle riders for a tour of Tokyo. Today is a national holiday in Japan, that Rie could best translate as “culture day.”

We hereby proclaim that Tuesday Nov. 2nd is Bike Culture Day, in Japan and around the world. I’ll take lots of pics. Apparently, on the agenda are a stop by Shimano to try out some new stuff, and a visit to the legendary Tokyo fish market. Weather looks rockin.

Hanging out in Japan this weekend? Join our Japanase distributor for a weekend filled of Longtail partying.

Our friends and Motocross International, are hosting a test ride party and picnic featuring Surly’s Big Dummy and Xtracycle’s FreeRadical as well as the Radish longtail.  We sure wish we could ride with Ross as he hangs with our East Coast amigos!
