Cycling

I really want to avoid using my phone for eBike navigation... For motorcycles, there's a flood of 5 to 7-inch "display audio" units that support Android Auto and CarPlay, and we're starting to see more reviews popping up […]

I already knew that the Tenhama Line had trains featuring Marimekko curtains and such, but I saw a TV program about a station where the walls are covered in Marimekko fabric panels and really wanted to visit.

It's a cycling trip of over 20 kilometers to the Okuhamanako area. Cycling along Lake Hamana is fun, but getting there can be surprisingly tough with lots of busy roads, so I usually need a good reason to go. And that reason is usually when my Mikkabi Mikan sweets run out.

With Hamamatsu Festival coming up soon, I thought maybe they'd be practicing flying the giant kites, so today I headed to Nakatajima Sand Dunes first. My CROSSCORE RC, after repairs, was completely silent and super comfortable (which is how it should be, lol). Perhaps due to the strong winds, or maybe it just wasn't a practice day, but unfortunately, not a single giant kite was flying. There was a market in the park that caught my eye a bit, but for now, I headed to the dunes. The wind was really strong that day, blowing sand in my face and stinging, so I quickly retreated.
