Master Pista, Osaka

Last week, whilst out in Osaka, we dropped into the fun and funky Master Pista in Umeda...

For a small store there is always lots of things to check out. Some really cool bicycle memorabilia dotted around the place...

Along with some very funky custom bikes and builds in progress....

Outside the shop was possibly the funkiest fixie in town, an old Allsop Softride frame converted to fixed gear, just because they can...

We love Master Pista, a fun, funky and very friendly shop. Check it out when you find yourself in town. You can also follow the shop on Twitter and Instagram.

Cooling Off

It's starting to get a little hot down here in Kansai. A downpour on Monday night followed by a day of sunshine on Tuesday pushed the humidity levels through the roof. Only one thing to do, head out for an afternoon ride around the park to cool off....

Even the shika are looking hot and bothered...
