Winter riding is grey and cold in Tokyo at the moment. But no snow. Here's some green graffiti and a bicycle to brighten things up. The artist did this recently in a parking lot. #cycling #graffiti #diycycling #streetart

Random Bike Pic. Here's another interesting western Tokyo bicycle parking lot find. This time a Bridgestone Grandtech two-piece bicycle. Well used and modified. The big chain ring had had the teeth filed off & it was running a modified four speed cassette/cluster on the back. #cycling #tokyo

Random bike pic. E-Vehicle Tartaruga in a shopping mall bike parking lot in western Tokyo. I have no idea what this is. If you know, let me know! 😂 I couldn't see anything E about it, unless it was something to do with the suspension or hubs. There weren't any lights on it. #cycling #bicycle #tokyo

Aluminium, alloy, steel at sunset. On a pedestrian/bike bridge on the Oguri River in Hachioji City, Tokyo, Japan. It's chilly in Tokyo now. 10°C. Perfect for riding. #cycling #cyclingphotos #silverbike #

Anyone for ton katsu? A couple of snaps from a bike ride over to Tachikawa the other day. Once upon a time, pork cutlets were served here. I wonder if the owner used the citrus fruit from the trees in the recipe? #cycling #udon #japan

New graffiti under a #hachioji bridge in western #tokyo. The artist has a few things in progress. How long before official killjoys paint it out? It's a continual battle. He's sprays, they grays, he sprays. It was another good bike ride! #cycling #diycycling #tokyo #japan #cyclingphotos #graffiti

Out and about on the Asa River. Thinking about how it would be nice to turn this Japan Oil Terminal depot into a green space with a solar-powered bike cafe and repair centre. #cycling #tokyo #japan.

Just back from Komadeike in Nagano, Japan. No bikes this weekend as it was a bit too far for an overnighter 😆 & the Yatsugatake mountain range rises to over 3000m. The autumn colours were great & it was a nice place to camp. Peace x #camping #japan #cycling #nature

Hi everyone! Here are some pics from my ride along the Sakaigawa river in western Tokyo today. It's still 28°C here which is strange. Autumn skies, low summer temperatures. The humidity has dropped a lot though. Everything is still green... #cycling #tokyo

I don't believe in nation states & generally avoid flags other than black or red ones. However, nations exist. This one is being erased by ethno-religious fanatics & the land taken as we speak. It is one of the greatest crimes in human history. If you don't speak out, you are complicit. #palestine

Spot the cat + another fine job from the Tatami Mat Bike Workshop. Even if I do say so myself...If you want a front carrier for a 700c bike, this Adept Truss Porter might fit the bill. Good for up to 10 kg, I'll use it for my bedroll & boxes of tomatoes...Peace x. #cycling #altcycling #DIY #cats
