Hello everyone,
I'm a German national (23yo) studying in the Netherlands, just about to begin my exchange in Tokyo.
I've picked up road cycling this spring and have been loving every minute I've spent on my bike.
Therefore, I'm looking into continuing my efforts into cycling in the 5~6 months I'll be living in Tokyo, yet without spending a fortune. Alas, I'm not sure whether I should import my current bicycle or look for a second-hand one in Tokyo. I'm assuming the latter would save me lots of packaging, transporting and paperwork with the registration of my bike (while spending the same amount). That said, I prefer buying at a store over buying on the web (where most second-hand bikes can be found, right?).
During my stay in Tokyo, I'll be living in east Nishitokyo, just on the border to Nerima. I'd be extremely grateful for any tips or recommendations from you, dear members of TCC. Looking forward to meeting and riding along some of you in the coming months.
Best regards from Germany,
Pascal
