another trip to japan, 3.5 weeks and just over 6,000km’s traveled. お疲れ様でした。海ほたるパーキングでの渋いXX x

Judging my past experiences, whenever there is a meet up of cars whether it was at a large PA or on the street or even conbennie these dudes will be there making the atmosphere that little bit more exciting. I’ve only ever seen a huge number of them riding together back in 2010 when around 300+ rolled into Daikoku PA. Apart from that I’ve only ever seen around 10-30 of them at once, which is still an experience in itself! I couldn’t even begin to imagine how rowdy these guys were a few decades ago. x

These things are just as interesting as cars sometimes. Fixie’s in Japan are so popular and I’m sure are continuing to grow. As you may know a lot of people in Japan either walk or ride to get around the cities, compared to Australia it’s crazy the amount of people that exercise, even if it’s in their business suit. These two photos were taken on the first night of my last trip, I really love the colour combinations the Japanese come up with, but I have to say this top one is my favourite.

I’m sure I have a lot more photos of these bikes around, I’ll just have to wait to get my 35mm scans done!
