• Gravel Cycling: Just Ride (then print)

  

  Combining the gravel bike and the camera makes riding even more interesting. I rarely come back with any photos that I find particularly interesting but at least it helps me to see. After all, the bicycle and camera are two of the most wonderful inventions humanity has ever come up with.

• Archives: Rainy Season Gifu Ride

  

  There has always been a part of me that relishes the knowledge that more than likely I was the only one out there on a road bike that day. Even now as the weekend downpour shows no sign of letting up part of me wants to be outside.

• Cycling: Suwa’s Ginko Tree

  

  Ginko trees (inchō・銀杏), along with momiji (紅葉) and persimmon (kaki・柿 – not to be confused with the other kaki meaning oyster) make for a staple of the Japanese autumn.

• Cycling: Slowing Down

  

  After I’d finished I sat waiting a couple of kilometres from where the festival was about to start at a michi-no-eki and I wondered why I hadn’t just jumped in the car with everyone else.

• Cycling: Real Voices at a Time Like This

  

  I went on a short bike ride this morning. The first in a few days. The pressure of last week meant that my fitness suffered. But exercise is non-negotiable. It gets you thinking. So once I got back from a ride in the hills I started to question the news sources I’ve been following so…

• Photography: Dusting Off the Leica

  

  It’s been a while since I shot a roll of film on my Leica. It was browsing through the wonderful book of photographs of travels throughout Asia in the 1990s (and 1980s?) called Asia Grace by Kevin Kelly and John Sypal’s Zuisha (随写) that did it.

• Mountain Biking: Nagoya
