I want to ride my bicycle

Ever wish your bike was more flexible? Well, this video (thanks Bike Snob) shows one alternative.

Bicycles - Good guys win one

Got to thank Cyclicious for this.  Seems a rude government Nazi lost his cool, his standing, and definitely face when he hijacked someone's bike. In the end, good guys win...at least some of the time.

Bicycle humor - riding etiquette

Pretty funny to those of us with fenders and backpacks.

Google maps adds bike routes

Finally. This is a great beginning.

Snow season ending

For those on the southern end, snow quality is going down fast. Rain has fallen in many places and is predicted again. If you can go north to Hokkaido or Hakkoda, you can still hit some good stuff. And, if you get lucky, you might hit an occasional good day in the south.

It appears my job will be sending me to Hawaii in a couple of weeks. Then, at the end of April, I'm going to Key West for my defrosting.

What will we cover if the snow stops?

Bicycle riding, fitness issues, dirty politics, and the finer dining/drinking opportunities in Tokyo will be the order of the day. Stay tuned.
