Total Awesome

Paradise.
Today I took my brand new bicycle out for a ride. My greatest passion is cycling. I've been without a bike for 11 months; this is probably the longest in my life since learning to ride. The new bike is smooth, fast, and colourful. The first ride was awesome.

2012 Giant Fixer R - Multi
This is my seventh or eighth Giant bicycle. You could say I'm a fan. I ordered the bike (here in Japan) back in September. It (surprisingly, for Giant) came early, as it had been backordered and expected in late January. I got it from Nakamura Pro Shop in Numazu-shi. The Fixer R has a flip-hub and comes with an extra cog so I can ride single freewheeled or fixed gear. It has horizontal drop-outs, rim brakes and non-quick-release wheels. Simple.

100円 for the first 100 meters.

Oh my! There's Mount Fuji! (Click for the surprise.)
