Listen "Road Racing in Shizuoka, Renting A Car In Japan, & Fitting Two Bikes Inside A Kei Car"

Episode Synopsis

We rented a car, drove to Shizuoka Prefecture, and had our first Japan cycling road race experience! It was Zeb's first race with the Japan Bicyclist Club Federation (JBCF) - how did the races go? How is road racing in Japan different? How do you do a cycling road trip without a bike rack?We also talk about riding through tea fields in Shizuoka (this area is the leading producer of tea in the country!), what a kei car (keijidosha, 軽自動車) is, and how toll roads work. Here's more information about the JBCF, the road racing tour that Zeb is participating in this season: https://jbcfroad.jp/Listen to the end of every episode to hear our Japanese "words-of-the-week," and head to @ramblingramsbothams on Instagram to see behind-the-scenes photos.Have a question or idea?
