Sunrise Cycles
Some more detailed shots of the jaw droppingly stunning Sunrise Cycles "Dixie" that was on display at the Handmade Bicycle Meeting in Kyoto last month..
Our photos don't quite do justice to this amazing bike, it was definitely one of the stars of the show and deservedly so...
You can see the process that went into creating this bike over on the Sunrise Cycles Flickr and keep up to date with all the other wonderful Sunrise creations on their blog.

Schwinn Bikes X UNIQLO
A collaboration between Schwinn Bikes and UNIQLO resulting in some rather cool retro looking t-shirts...
Cheers to our east Japan correspondent Hiroshi for the photo.
Yanagi Cycle
A few more detailed shots of the Yanagi Cycle bikes we saw at the Handmade Bicycle Meeting in Kyoto last week. We were lucky enough to test ride this gorgeous 29+ Trucker model. It is light, fast and seriously smooth. The bike just rolls and rolls and rolls...
Hanging inside the shop was this elegant and understated Camper frame. The details are just beautiful...
You can keep up to date with the Yanagi creations via their blog or follow them on Flickr. Or should you find yourself in Tokyo drop into their Shinjuku based workshop.

Bicycle Parking Is NOT A Crime!
Spotted out in Osaka yesterday, this well ridden 3Rensho track bike. A usual suspect for the kind of bike we would take snaps of and post here. It wasn't until we uploaded the photos that we noticed the extra lock on the bike. The note on the lock is basically a threat telling the owner if the lock is broken then it goes to "the next level"...
This bike was parked tucked away at the rear of a car park in downtown Osaka. It wasn't blocking any sidewalks like many of the bikes we see around town. Obviously the shady fucks who "own" the car park are getting a bit heavy handed in their dealing with cyclists. Be warned people and be very careful where you decide to lock your bike. Either that or carry around a huge set of bolt cutters with you!
