I was also featured in the issue #24 for the photo gallery of my crazy backpacking trip around India in August of 2010. I traveled with my friends as far north as the himalayan mountains to Manali, ganges river to Rishikesh, Chandigarh, Jaipur and New Delhi. Surrounded by cattle, bicycles and images of Shiva. I slipped on cow shit many times everyday and ate curry three times a day until I got diarrhea…… I would like to share it with you through my photos what I saw in India.

Urban Velo is very interesting magazine, it’s always written about a lot of different bike culture and society from all over the world. You should check it out!

Thanks + Arigatou Jeff.

I went to Burning Man for the first time this year and it was soooo amazing on so many levels. Burning Man is a huge art and music festival way out in the desert and this year over 51,000 people were in attendance. Almost everyone brings a bike to Burning Man. There are some designated green bikes that you can borrow but they disappear often and are hard to find. And actually, you can buy an old used bike at the entrance too. You wouldn’t want to bring a nice bike to Burning Man because the Alkali dust will get into everything and will ruin it. For my Burning Man Bike I went to the swap meet in Oakland and found a probably stolen bike for super cheap (sorry bro, I tipped a bit of my 40 our for ya) and then I used colored duct tape to decorate it. Building the bike was a fun project and riding around the playa was so much fun! I can’t wait to go back and do it again next year.

Here’s a few of my pics:

I’ve got a couple vids up on my youtube:

And here’s another great blog post on Bikes @ Burning Man:

I met my best friend Nikon sometimes around 2008, I started shooting the photos of girls on bikes just for fun as my self satisfaction, didn’t know about flickr and any bike websites. One day, I was in a street Keirin race event “Bank-King” sponsored by Circles in Nagoya, I met Yohei, the photographer/editor of a magazine, he said “where can I find your photos you’ve taken?” and I was like “NO WHERE!” then he told me about flickr and I started meeting many people who is fascinating to me all over the world. The bikes and photos unite people and they inspire me a lot. 

So, now I’m able to share of my photos through websites like Candy Cranks, Flickr and anywhere. And yeah, I’m going to be bold to say, I’m in a magazine! It’s COG, yay! I would say COG is more like photographic collection, not like magazine, all photos are very artistic and high quality. I wrote the article about the back stage of Love Wheels Nagoya Calendar and some of my photos are in a page of  the all girl’s alleycat race, THE NADESHIKO CUP (CMWC Tokyo.) It reminds me the greatest time of CMWC 2009 in Tokyo.

Check out the newest issue vol.8 of COG.
Featured stories are Women’s Keirin History/ les six jours de Grenoble/ Empire/ Alex Singer/ Street Gallery, Toronto/ Ed Wonka LaForte/ Christina Peck/ Las Vegas/ 700 CMX Evolution/ CMWC Tokyo/ Los Angeles/ more…

Many thanks to my friend Yohei and all editor of the wonderful magazine COG!

TASTE ME♥
