Saitama Cycle Expo 2015


Our good buddy and east Japan correspondent Hiroshi sent over a stack of great photos from last weekend's Saitama Cycle Expo. The event incorporated the Mini Love Festa, a celebration of all things mini-velo and folding related so there were plenty on display...


 



It wasn't all 20 inchers though, the roadies were well catered for. Anchor had a huge display...





And plenty of other carbon speed machines on show too...








 All aspects covered from funky beach cruisers...


To the latest high tech mama-chari bikes...


 Lots opportunities to try things out...


Or get advice from the professionals...


Our personal favorite bike is this carbon Koga Snow Champ drop bar fatbike that just looks like a ton of fun... 


A very big thank you to Hiroshi for sharing these photos.
