2025 FUNRIDE PHOTO ALBUM
Honolulu 🇺🇸
NewYork City 🇺🇸
Port Douglas 🇦🇺
Brisbane 🇦🇺

As 2025 is gradually drawing to a close, what kind of year has it been for you?
When it comes to riding, although temperatures heading into winter dropped more gently than usual, the summer was relentlessly hot, and many of you may have found fewer opportunities to ride. To get through Japan’s hot and humid summers, early-morning rides may be the key. The vibrant early-morning community rides I encountered in Australia felt like exactly the kind of cycling culture that could truly take root in Japan.

Now, to round out the year once again, we are pleased to present a photo album highlighting fan ride events from overseas. From the United States, we feature the HONOLULU CENTURY RIDE in Honolulu and TD Five Boro Bike Tour (BIKE NEW YORK) in New York. From Australia, we introduce the PORT DOUGLAS GRAN FONDO FESTIVAL (the ride event concluded in 2025) and the BRISBANE CYCLING FESTIVAL.
Please enjoy the courses and scenery that showcase the unique character of each event.
