Introductions - Hello from Tokyo

Greetings all,
I have been lurking here for a while. This place seems too cool a place to visit without signing up! :D

welcome to the forums..

Welcome Simon :) Hows Tokyo treating you?

Treating me OK now I guess. I was riding the subway for years until I got to the 'Critical Mass' stage! Since I have been riding in, cool as a cucumber :)

Where you from originally?

Warrington in the UK (Near Manchester)

Oh yeah, why the move?

Muwahahahahaaha (Dr Evil-esque laugh) You obviously haven' t been there! :)

How does that saying go.... "There is no crime in being born in the gutter, but there certainly is in wanting to stay there"

Actually it isnt that harsh, but I though I could do a little better :)

Heh.. fair call.

Simon Ed- Welcome to bikeforums! This is rjtokyo also in Tokyo. Where in Tokyo are you? A few of us here on the west side take rides here and there to Tama-Ko, Sayama Koen, Okutama, etc. if you're looking for riding partners. Last month went up to Nokiri-Ko in northern Nagano. This Saturday (9/6) a couple of us are heading up the Arakawa River Cycling Road towards Shinrin Koen if you're interested. Anyway, welcome!!

Fixer- Doyoubi no Arakawa Jitensha-dou wa sugokatta zo. 22do de, sukoshi kumotte-te, saikou datta ne.

But actually my favorite ride is Kyuu-naka-sen-dou to Karuizawa, 15km hill climb with 285 switchbacks, great view of the river,... awesome! Been on that one?
