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.

Osamu Suzuki-san was also among them. Through the connection of appearing monthly on Mr. Osamu’s radio program ‘Shin Radio Humanista’ on BAYFM, I extended the invitation. It seemed a pivotal moment in his life as he considered stepping down from his role as a scriptwriter, and I thought he might want to challenge himself with something new. From Osamu-san, I received an immediate response: ‘I want to go!’ Despite not usually riding bicycles, he felt a certain &#82 […]
