Giracha Sunday Ride

Last Sunday we joined up with the Giracha crew for what was billed as a "Gentlemen and Ladies" Sunday morning ride. We donned our Sunday best and headed out into the beautiful early summer sunshine...

Everyone had made an effort to look smart, Sayaca as always looking effortlessly classy...

Fixed In Nara stylish as fuck and channeling his inner Robert Redford...

Tetsuya-san looking seriously sharp on his beautiful vintage Colnago...

Tsutsumi-san leading the way through the quiet Sunday morning Osaka streets...

Rene rolling on his stunning Nagasawa commuter...

We are traffic...

Loshin and Tsutsumi on point duty...

A Gentlemen and Ladies ride means obeying the laws and waiting patiently at every stop light...

But it's Japan so there will always be a random security guard to tell you off...

Early morning Nakanoshima park is just gorgeous...

Osaka's coolest couple...

Fixed in Nara is a bad influence on local legend Ian...

Just a perfect day...

The new cycling version of Goodfellas looks interesting....

Shooting me shooting you shooting me...

A really fun way to spend a morning. Huge thanks to Tsutsumi, Sayaca, Rene, Loshin, Romi, Ian, Tetsuya and, of course, Fixed in Nara.

Dispatch IV from Midwest Correspondent: First Snow and East River Road

Editor's note, Pete sent this late last year. We fucked up and forgot to post it. Sorry Pete. Better late than never.

Greetings from the Twin Cities. We finally got (a little bit of) snow here in the cities so I decided to take some shots of my favorite section of my work commute: East River Parkway. The road connects

Minneapolis and St. Paul along the east bank of the Mississippi River and has a shared bike/pedestrian trail that runs alongside. I take the trail for two miles from Oak Street to Marshall (or a bit further to Summit, depending on the day).

East River Parkway is a pretty relaxed roadway even during morning and evening rush hours, but the
ride is made all the more peaceful with the trail along its side. Up on the trail one only needs to worry
about other cyclists/pedestrians and the trail condition which appears to be maintained by City Park and Recreation staff. On my ride from the east bank of the UofM to St. Paul there is only one
stop/intersection (at Franklin) before Marshall or Summit Ave.

A fellow cyclist rides by on his evening commute:

In summer, 10mph would feel rather slow. But in winter when the roads/trails are often bumpy, slick
and icy, around 10mph doesn’t feel so bad:

Riding into work one morning I exited the trail at Marshall and snapped this picture of the river. In this section of the river, Minneapolis is to the left (west) and St. Paul is to the right. In the distance you can see downtown Mpls lit up by the rising sun behind us:

That night I took a couple of pictures while I cut through the UofM. Here we see Northrop Mall in the background:

On the reverse shot we see the Northrop Auditorium:

I will include a rundown of my winter setup and gear in a future post. Until then, have a happy New
Year and excellent holiday season!

3rd Dispatch from Midwest Correspondent

Hello from MN. I've got a couple of half-baked post ideas mixed together here for your viewing enjoyment!

In October I went out to the Witches Hat tower and the river to see some fall leaves:

This is the nice skyline view from Prospect Park.  After the park I rode over to the Franklin Avenue bridge.

Also while riding around this fall I caught a few bike mural pictures at current/former bike shops: This is  Freewheel Bike on the West Bank.

And Sunrise Cyclery on the Greenway.

And The Alt

Penn Cycle on Lake Street with a nice Pee-Wee Herman homage

And  the CRC Coffee Bar (RIP)

Next post will show my winter season bike conversion and maybe some snow-- stay tuned!
