A few of the better shots we took at the men's and girl's (women's?!) FII finals at Nara Keirin yesterday. It is important to stress that it was ridiculously hot, around 35 degrees with humidity running at around 1,000%...

Keirin Finals
A few of the better shots we took at the men's and girl's (women's?!) FII finals at Nara Keirin yesterday. It is important to stress that it was ridiculously hot, around 35 degrees with humidity running at around 1,000%...
Horie Cycle, Osaka
We dropped into the small but funky Horie Cycle on a rainy afternoon last weekend. As it was a wet day the little shop was crammed with the bikes that are usually displayed outside...
We still managed to get a few photos of the cool bikes and parts...
A friendly and fun shop, worth a visit when you are in town. As well as repairs and sales they do some interesting custom builds too, keep up with them via the Horie Cycle Twitter feed.

Iribe @ Miyazaki Cycle
A couple of beautiful Nara made Iribe bikes just popped up on the Miyazaki Cycles blog. First up a stealth looking roadie....
And an equally stylish fixie...
One day, some how, we will own an Iribe!
Cheers to Fixed In Nara for the heads up.
Afternoon At The Track
An afternoon at Nara Keirin yesterday on the second day of an FII meeting. No real excitement to report apart from a torrential downpour between the eleventh and twelfth races. In no particular order, here's the pick of the pics...

Korean Cruiser
Spotted by Brad one night out in Shinomiya, Nara, this funky little cruiser bike...
A little bit of research by Brad found that this is actually a Korean made bicycle, for reasons we won't even try to go into here we don't see many Korean bicycles in Japan so this is a bit of a rarity round these parts...
Cheers to Brad for sharing these photos.
