Tomity, Thanks for posting!

Last week I posted some pictures of you in our Badass Thread.

So many of us here at tarckbike.com admire you.

Wow.

I cannot wait until our local velodrome opens. I did not know that the velodromes in Japan were such long lengths, the 400m-500m really look long! Keirin would be a great gambling sport in america… maybe replace horse and dog racing!?!

Tomity is awesome. Thanks for posting all of this. If I’m ever in Japan, you can bet I’ll be at a Keirin race.

Tomity, how do you feel about people riding Keirin frames on the street? Do you think it is good that are being used, or do you think it is wrong to use them outside of a velodrome?[/quote]

Hi zelah
As for getting on with street, track bike(brakeless) is illegal in Japan.
However, the young person has gotten on in the fashion.

Foreign countries and the transportation condition of Japan are greatly different.
I think that all track riders should safely note it. Do not damage others.

Interested thing in the bicycle of the young person is good!!
Ride safe everyday!!
