Preamble<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approaching the age of 37, I realized I needed more exercise. Through the kind introduction of a friend, N-san, I discovered cycling and soon became fascinated by both vintage bicycles and the culture surrounding them. Through Corsa Corsa and Eroica, my passion for cycling only grew stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several years later, I decided to take a sabbatical from work and cycle from England to Istanbul. Through this journey, I hope to share the places, people, and experiences I encounter along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for reading, and my sincere thanks to E-san and T-san for their support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
