Tokyo Bike launches in Surry Hills.

Tokyo Bike is a brand spanking new venture in Surry Hills which opened for trading last Saturday {May 8th}.

They are a small and independent bicycle company which launched in the old Tokyo suburb of Yanaka eight years ago. This is where they started to sell cleverly designed bikes which were ideal for urban riding, light in weight {between 9 and 11 kilos}, beautiful to look at, and above all affordable. The Surry Hills store is their first in Australia and outside of Japan. They are also planning to open a shop in London in the near future.

Here’s a little quote from their story:

More about slow, than fast, Tokyo Bike believes that speed is not always the aim, destination is only part of the story, and losing yourself in city’s small back lanes, expansive parks and gardens is one way of switching off and escaping the city pace.

The Tokyo Bike story is grounded in simple bikes, that are reasonably priced, easy to ride and to carry, are pared back to the basic elements, available in a wide range of colours, and all about the joy of getting away from it all.

The  yellow bike would go brilliantly with that yellow jacket, which I never ended up buying… but it’s the thought that counts.
