Yoshinori Takashima

A hobby rider and writer born and raised in Nabari. He has been biking for about 5 years (as of 2021). He commutes to work by bike on weekdays, and enjoys nature on weekends on a road bike. He is a hobbyist who rides his bike all year round. He started biking to lose weight, but now is a member of a local team called SMA and enjoys group rides and races.

SMA is short for “Saturday Morning Activity,” and is a group of people who get together on Saturday mornings for fun bike rides together. This time, me and some of my local teammates, who have ridden all around the area, gathered together to set up some routes based around the concept of “picnic rides for adults,” which would offer some history, delectable food, and time in nature. I will be blogging about what the routes have to offer, as well as the things to keep in mind during the trip.
