Tokyo area people:

There is going to be a fixed gear (well, mostly fixed) Hanami get-together/ride for cherry blossom viewing on March 31st. Organized by Eli and Junko (who organized Pillage), it's starting in Yoyogi Koen at 14:00 near "those big white (non-operational) fountains." I think I know where those are (maybe someone does for sure?) but I'm sure if you look for flashy bikes you'll find it. Junko and maybe some others who don't feel like riding will stay at Yoyogi and hold a place for us (the park will be crazy crowded during the sakura days) while we ride around to different cool sakura viewing places (route yet to be worked out) and after a few hours head back to Yoyogi Koen for a drunken* Hanami party.

*optional


To make this relevant to everyone else, while on the train to Yokohama I saw a bunch of nice bikes in a building along the tracks. Turns out it's a Yokohama Bicycle Museum. Unfortunately it was closed, but I took some (bad) pictures of the bikes in the window.
























p.s. most of the ride info was paraphrased (or directly copied) from Eli.
