“BIKE TALK” – Hawaii HBL Edition -, an online talk event organized by Global Ride, was held. The Hawaii Bicycling League (HBL) is a non-profit organization that organizes the Honolulu Century Ride, the largest and most popular ride event in Hawaii that every rider wants to ride at least once.

This is a 14-mile (23 km, 47 km round trip) one-way ride from Aiea, the northern area of Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Hawaii, to Ewa Village, Kapolei and Ko Olina on the Pearl Harbor Bike Path. Following the Waikiki Ride and the Kakaako Ride, Rod, a loco(local) rider, will introduce the Pearl Harbor Bike Path, a popular cycling course unknown to tourists, from “Hawaii,” a foreign country with which Japanese people feel familiar.

Following the Waikiki Ride, we asked Rod, a Loco(local) rider, to introduce Kakaako, a popular area for cycling, through his bicycle.
