Well, I hope you missed me. - Because we've got a lot to see! For those of you who didn't see my previous posts in the past weeks across numerous social media, I decided to take a break after the cycle and filming due to being at the brink of a mental and physical breakdown. (I mean, look at all the stuff we did in the bloody trailer in the last two minutes of this video!). As amazing as Journey Across Japan has been, 45 days on the road left me in a state of ruin. And after resting in January properly for the first time since August, I now feel fully recharged. With at least a dozen episodes to go, I'm in the right frame of mind to do the series justice, with the videos being posted throughout February! Thanks for your patience folks and enjoy the video!

@freeculture 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah and the front only has 1 small gear. Mine just broke the rear derailleur as well while i was out in the street its annoying. You "could" technically still switch the gear by hand, but you'd have to stop turn the bike upside down and do it with your hands, keep the tension set straight and off you go. Now who they gave it to that couldn't fix it? that's the problem. In Tokyo you can't walk a block without seeing either a bicycle shop or bicycle repair shop, i seriously doubt they didn't see one on this trip. In my biased opinion Japan has the highest bicycle per capita population on earth (and Tokyo the most rail per capita as well). Also i want to mention, yeah its true the off road tires need a bit more effort, but like he correctly said in the first episode, they tend to puncture less. Maybe Japan has cleaner streets but over here with the asphalt tires the tires would go flat almost every day. Also that accident when he hit the pole, i have suffered those as well, i know the feel :-) Good cycling!

I lived in Kobe for 2 years. Perfect location. I spent tons on time in Kyoto (1 hour away). I actually had the opportunity to tour and go to the top of the Akashi Kaikyo bridge (amazing experience). Visited the Himeji castle many times. I miss Japan and might return.

Thanks a lot for this series. My wife and I were supposed to travel to Japan this year, and of course this pandemic changed all that. We had a couple of great experiences doing bike trips in different places of the US, and watching you do the same in Japan is such a perfect combination of the familiar and the new... It has been a way to get a taste of what it would have been like, and a great motivator to go next year.

I was in Japan when this series started & I was really excited to watch it everyday but then I would check and there weren't videos. At first I thought I was missing them somehow but when it came to light what was happening, I was more than happy to wait. Watching these videos now, I am more excited than I was at the beginning to see the trip. クリス君はありがとうございました
