Along Kitaoji Dori, just east of the Kamo River, is a mega bike store.
Asahi Cycle is a chain store that sells just about anything. It has a large showroom that is packed to the rafters bikes and bike stuff.
We are not snobs but prefer to shop in smaller, locally owned and run shops.
Still, hats off to Asahi, which must be doing something right.
The Sakai based company was recently listed on Forbes Magazines "Asia's 200 Best Under A Billion" - the only Japanese company to make the cut.
