[Bicycle Diary] This morning, at the same time as opening the window, two inbound customers came to rent bicycles. I wanted to run on the Mikata Five Lakes, so I asked them to join the Cycling for Tourist Association members that I had originally planned! Cycling while riding slowly and enjoying Nature with everyone. On the way, the tires are deflated! When I was making a noise, a nearby person lent me an air pump, which was helpful. He had already stayed in Japan for many nights and seemed to have been to many places, but he was very happy that the Mikata Five Lakes were good, so I think it was a good memory.
