見るだけのほうがいい時もあります。１６人が一緒に横になって、この上を怪しそうなBMXライダーがジャンプしました。みんなは怖かったでしょう。

More than 16 people lined up side by side on the ground, and allowed this crazy BMX rider to jump over them. Like bike rodeo, for me it was much more fun to watch and photograph than to risk injury. Sometimes watching is best.

It’s like beer but better

ビールみたいだけれど、もっと美味しいと思います。「Bicycle Coffee」という自転車で運んでくるコーヒー売店はタップからコーヒーを出します。

I love how Bicycle Coffee in Tokyo serves coffee from a tap.

Would you mess with this guy at the bike rodeo?

モダンな中世の騎士みたいでしょう。初めて、「チャリローディー」を観察しました。ローディーには、頭に紙風船をつけて、巻いた新聞で相手の風船を打ち落とします。この「Pedal Day」というイベントは、いつもクリエイティブなMedia Surfが企画しました。

It was my first bike rodeo. It seems the idea is to put these paper balloons on your head, and then use a roll of newspaper to whack other competitors’ balloons. All while riding in a tight pen. This was in Yoyogi Park, organized by Media Surf as Pedal Day.
