00 In fall 2000, I bought a 'SatRDay' folding recumbent from Bike Friday in Oregon and flew to Japan. It's the best investment I've ever made! 01 PART I, August 2001 - I flew from Tokyo to remote Rishiri Island, off the tip of Hokkaido, to start a 3 week solo cycling tour 02 Landing in Rishiri - Tokyo was a humid 37C, Rishiri a chilly 15C 03 Ezokanzou, native to Hokkaido, surrounded the tiny airport
04 Rishiri is only 108k south of Sakhalin Island (Russia) and 1,045k north of Tokyo 05 60k perimeter ride around Mt. Rishishi volcanic island 06 Campers happy for sunshine 07 Surprise! Osaka Pocket Rocket meets Oregon SatRDay on tiny Rishiri Island
08 Comparing Bike Friday bicycles at Rishiri campground 09 Rishiri - Oshidomari harbor 10 Bounty from the sea - octopus, scallops, sea urchin with rice, miso soup and pickled daikon 11 Diminutive 'Kurumayuri' lilly blooms during the short summer season
