An afternoon trip to Kyoto today to drop in at the sublimely cool Sports Cycle Arakawa...
Inside, the store is full of bikes, parts and clothing including a lot of hard to find retro BMX kit...
There are bikes and parts everywhere and some really nice retro cycling posters and collectables dotted around...
They also have one of the best bike shop websites in Japan, holding a huge array of BMX related stuff, much of which is on display around the shop...
It's not all BMX though, there are many other cool bikes in the store, including this beautiful Vigore hanging in the window...
...And of course the store owner rides one of the coolest bikes in the shop, this very tidy BMW...
A brilliant, specialist BMX store with a very welcoming owner (Arigato for the stickers!)Well worth seeking out when you are in Kyoto.
