Rider：Oya Yuichi
"When it comes to commuting on bicycles, the representative choice is the cross bike. The image of being somewhere in between a road bike and an MTB is a thing of the past. The latest versions have evolved for safer and more comfortable movement in mixed traffic, with a sporty essence that makes them truly enjoyable. And, because the test ride day was rainy, I could fully appreciate the benefits of high-quality tires, disc brakes, and fenders," and other impressions like this are posted on Mr. Oya's Facebook page.
