Hi Bill, you enjoy riding all the Rivendells for each purpose and I admire it! The other day I saw an orange Hubbuhubbuh at Blue Lug Kamiuma branch and it was already sold. I hope to see the tandem bike is running in Tokyo very soon because tandems are not so common here.
I like to see people are riding Rivendells in a lot countries too! It's amazing to see that one bike makes so many people happy.
