I bought a bike the other week… and put it to good use on my last day off by going on a ride to nowhere in particular round my new parts.
I headed off towards what I think is north of my house and spent about 2 or so hours biking around some decidedly weird parts, encountering amongst other things a US military base (they’re everywhere!), a sports centre, a crazy crocket ground, a motorway, an Onsen centre (Japanese hot spring baths), a Mitsubishi plant, what I think were some towns (they were lacking town centres though) as well as a cemetary and a pizza spot (that was literally in the middle of nowhere).
As night set I decided it might be a good idea to head back home before I get properly lost. 30 minutes or so later I made it back, freezing cold but pleased with myself.
It’s nice to be able to lose yourself and just go and look for whatever you might find. It might be handy to start learning the Japanese alphabets properly though so I can read the signs.
I took some pictures too… head over to the Flickr set right here

Those bloody yanks get everywhere and it makes me sick. Is there anywhere on earth they haven’t fucked over. Not content with blowing the shit out of poor old imperial Japan in the forties they now expect the good old japanese to put up with their stupidity and down right ignorance. God if I had the option of spending half an hour with some twat of a yank serviceman or have my eyes burnt out as I watched an entire city implode from a couple of miles away I know which I’d choose and I can tell you now it’s the one that involves getting a tan.
Anyway at least we can take some solice in the fact that most americans are too fat to get on a plane anyway. God Bless McDonalds and long live heart disease.

I feel that I must write to express my utter disgust at the last commentees posting. Although I fully accept his argument concerning Americans I feel compelled to state for the record that heart disease is an absolutely terrible thing.

Yeah ridin in LDN is dangeraaaas! Mind you the Japanese are pretty hardcore too… we’ve had a few close calls, they’re really ruthless, no beeping, or nothing… and last thing you want is an accident cos we get no sick leave
But yeah biking around is sick… Going to try and find Totoro’s forest today, apparently it’s near where we live!
As for the redneck, let’s just say he’s got interests in Hackney Council
lol
