In Japan,Sports Bicycles are becoming very popular among many people these days.
Today,I came to a big complex facility in Osaka, called "ATC", Asia & Pacific Trade Center at South Port,Osaka.
Sports Bicycles Festival is held here today.
Various kinds of Sports Bikes from all over the world are displayed here today, and we can also try our favorite brand bicycles to our hearts content!
I'm not so big fan of Sports Bikes,but it is my husband's favorite.
He seems really exciting^ ^
It is an Italian bicycle manufacturer in Treviso,Italy.Really famous bicycle brand.
It is at the top position of road bikes world.
It is really a stylish, cool bike!
In Belgium,Bicycle is a national sport.
Some roads in Belgium are paved by stone,or reminiscent,old,unpaved roads,
so it is really hard for professional riders to ride bicycles on such roads.
RIDLEY bicycles have been developed in such circumstances,
that is the reason why RIDLEY bikes are high-performance,
and that is why many Champions are produced from Belgium.

Wow, this is a dream bicycle with sail!
How wonderful it would be if I could ride this bicycle!
I've never seen such bicycle before. It is really interesting.
Let's go outside for a change of air.
These people are waiting for their turn to test ride of their favorite bikes.
There are so many booths of each bicycle brands.
People are standing in a long line,waiting for their turn to ride.
This is the scenery of the test ride course.
My husband took a test ride three times.
I also rode this sports bike, but it was a little difficult for me.
It takes a bit of getting used to.
I'm sure you will feel so refreshed,pedal along the coastal road,on a fine beautiful autumn day!
I think I would prefer to walk on that coastal road, Kumiko:)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a connaisseur of these bikes, so I do not deny the right of other people to love them!

So interesting that bicycling is popular in Japan ! We have lots of people practising the sport in their free time here in Belgium and it's very popular. Pedalling on a nice day is indeed very refreshing.
