Random bike pic. E-Vehicle Tartaruga in a shopping mall bike parking lot in western Tokyo. I have no idea what this is. If you know, let me know! 😂 I couldn't see anything E about it, unless it was something to do with the suspension or hubs. There weren't any lights on it. #cycling #bicycle #tokyo

Hi Everyone! Why not come on a bike ride with Wild Monkey & see the sights as we travel under a monorail with other cyclists. All set to contemporary hardcore punk from Germany, Mexico, USA & Sweden. Come on! You know you want to! Peace x #cycling #punk #tokyo #japan peertube.wtf/w/fuBWqDMvN6...

Aluminium, alloy, steel at sunset. On a pedestrian/bike bridge on the Oguri River in Hachioji City, Tokyo, Japan. It's chilly in Tokyo now. 10°C. Perfect for riding. #cycling #cyclingphotos #silverbike #

Anyone for ton katsu? A couple of snaps from a bike ride over to Tachikawa the other day. Once upon a time, pork cutlets were served here. I wonder if the owner used the citrus fruit from the trees in the recipe? #cycling #udon #japan

Hi folks! If you're interested in music, the DIY ethos & busting out of the algorithm, this could be a good place to start. Well worth a read.✌️ #music #diy #destroybigtech

Hi everyone! Here's my latest bike riding video. This time across western Tokyo & through Tachikawa City to Le Cyc bike shop & a beatiful park, resplendent in autumn colours. You can chill to some top dub tunes! Peace x #cycling #japan peertube.wtf/w/4R7dFmyz3C...

This is where the toilets live. #cycling #japan

Bike 1-0 Car.

Hi Everyone! Why not come on Pt 2 of this Tokyo Bay ride? Set to super-chilled dub, we ride waterside & work our way around the bay before heading back into the city. Get yourself a brew, take 13 minutes and ride along! Peace x #bikesky #cycling #tokyo #dub peertube.wtf/w/8QuWZA7akb...

New graffiti under a #hachioji bridge in western #tokyo. The artist has a few things in progress. How long before official killjoys paint it out? It's a continual battle. He's sprays, they grays, he sprays. It was another good bike ride! #cycling #diycycling #tokyo #japan #cyclingphotos #graffiti

Autumn in #japan is beautiful. Pics from a spin around the #hachioji area of western Tokyo this weekend. No filters, just natural light and the capabilities of my cheap smartphone. #cycling #autumnleaves #japancycling

Hi Everyone! Here's another bike riding video. I ride through Tokyo traffic and cross the famed Rainbow bridge with a 'skateboard.' It's set to sometimes incongruous punk, so if you're not into that, turn the sound off & enjoy to music you like! Peace x #cycling #punk peertube.wtf/w/o474FBe3yG...

On the way back from my bike ride to Rainbow Bridge I took some Tokyo sunset shots looking west to Mt Fuji on the Tamagawa River. No filter. The sun rendered Mt Fuji like that!Peace x #cycling #tokyo #japan #cyclingjapan

Weird that being associated with a genocide might taint your brand.

I did a 100 km loop ride down to & over Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay. It was a beautiful day! #cycling #tokyo #japan #cyclingjapan

Out and about on the Asa River. Thinking about how it would be nice to turn this Japan Oil Terminal depot into a green space with a solar-powered bike cafe and repair centre. #cycling #tokyo #japan.

Autumn's here. My Kert Big Bird Bike in my local Tokyo park. #cycling #hachioji #tokyo #japan

Wild Monkey is back to rip roaring form here. I really enjoyed this ride & so added some thunderous tunes. Why not come with me on a crazy spin down to the Sagami River & a ride through rice fields to the end of the trail? There's plenty to see! Peace x #cycling #japan peertube.wtf/w/ivPYWzGuuN...

Slang are back! First album in 10 years from these guys from Sapporo. If you like your Japanese stuff, check it out! #punk #slang #sapporo #japan @mikeroneniner.bsky.social youtu.be/FUpYpJK90Hc?...

Morning bike ride down by the river & railway. Hachioji, Tokyo. #cycling #hachioji #tokyo #japan

Random Bike Pic. I came across this Bridgestone Express Generation One outside my local second-hand shop. It wasn't for sale. the bloke riding it was buying a winter jacket! Maybe next time... #cycling #altcycling #diycycling #tokyo #japan

The current DIY hardcore punk scene is on fire. There's just so much good stuff out there. So much PWYL/NYP (Pay What You Like/ Name Your Price) in the true spirit of the scene. If you liked Poison Idea check this out @mikeroneniner.bsky.social #punk youtu.be/mFYL506yeTc?...

Hi Everyone! Here's Wild Monkey's latest bike riding video. It's familiar territory for regulars but there's still plenty to see as I take to the gravel heading west on the Tama River. The hardcore punk on this one rips! Enjoy! Peace x #cycling #punk peertube.wtf/w/mmpFoGaN5y...

This is for cycling friends that like their music old skool as well as their bikes. Check out this great interview with Remain (DIY, Straight Edge, Vegan, Anti-fascist band from Dresden). While I'm not really a big Youth Crew fan, these guys are keeping it real. diyconspiracy.net/remain-strai...

Just back from Komadeike in Nagano, Japan. No bikes this weekend as it was a bit too far for an overnighter 😆 & the Yatsugatake mountain range rises to over 3000m. The autumn colours were great & it was a nice place to camp. Peace x #camping #japan #cycling #nature

Sunday morning bike ride along the Asakawa, Tama and Oguri rivers. It was another grey day. #cycling #tokyo #cyclingphotos

Hi Everyone! Here's another bike riding video from Tokyo. If you watched my YT videos, you'll recognise the route but this time it's extended a bit. Lot's to see & familiar tunes - I'm still re-jigging stuff for PeerTube. Anyway, please enjoy it if you have time! Peace x peertube.wtf/w/3gHXkhxMBU...

Hi Everyone! Here's my latest bike riding video. It's a reprise of a ride I filmed last year. Tunes from United Stare & Beverly Crusher, so listenable for those not into the really heavy stuff. I tried out a new editor on this. Need to fix the colour... Peace #cycling peertube.wtf/w/m6Ai3PvDrr...

A grey day ride. #cycling #tokyo

I'm slowly extricating myself from the grip of corporate(read fascist/fascistic) big tech. First PeerTube in place of YouTube, Mastodon not Meta & today I erased my Windows PC & installed Linux. Little by little the fight back is on. Let's break up the Silicon Valley behemoths. #diy #fediverse

Hi Everyone! I'm loving PeerTube! It uploads faster than YT. Anyway, here's my latest bike riding video. The scenery & the punk are deliberately incongruous. If you like bikes, Japan & punk, give it a shot! Otherwise turn the sound off!😁 Peace #cycling #punkrock peertube.wtf/w/3uB47M3jLM...

I've started blocking cycling accounts that talk about 'training,' 'marginal gains' and 'suffering.' If anyone mentions how their enjoyment of a race was spoilt by demonstrators opposed to genocide, they also get blocked. #bicycleriding a.k.a. #cycling in the corporate world.

Hi everyone. Here' a short & simple musing on why I recently quit cycling YouTube. #cycling #youtube #fediverse #google #palestine medium.com/@yaenridesag...

Hi everyone! Here are some pics from my ride along the Sakaigawa river in western Tokyo today. It's still 28°C here which is strange. Autumn skies, low summer temperatures. The humidity has dropped a lot though. Everything is still green... #cycling #tokyo

Hi Everyone. Here is my latest bike riding video. This time on PeerTube. Why not come on a ride to Sagamigawa Nature Village? Speed downhill & cruise through a campsite & see the river. All set to psych-rock. Peace x #cycling #japan peertube.wtf/w/9bQk4yRJSN...

Hi everyone! Back in March I interviewed @mikeroneniner.bsky.social for the old Wild Monkey website & it was fascinating. If you're into the alt-cycling scene & are interested in transatlantic culture, it's a great read. I've posted it with a new intro on Medium. #cycling medium.com/@yaenridesag...

On today's spin around Hachioji, I stopped & snapped a couple of bike & building shots... #cycling #hachioji #tokyo

Hi everyone!This is the last Wild Monkey video on YouTube! From next week I'll post on PeerTube. Take a bike ride with me on a Riverside trail. Set to frenetic hardcore as I kiss goodbye to the Google algorithm, this one really is for the cycle punks!👊🤘✌️#cycling #punk youtu.be/aUWUYSYSTao?...

Hi everyone! Here's a great bike riding video from @mikeroneniner.bsky.social Why not ride along with him on the River Mersey in Manchester & chill to some super tunes? See street art, lush greenery & grab a coffee with him! 👊🚴✌️ #cycling #altcycling #manchester youtu.be/IbN9kwRCjVo?...

I don't believe in nation states & generally avoid flags other than black or red ones. However, nations exist. This one is being erased by ethno-religious fanatics & the land taken as we speak. It is one of the greatest crimes in human history. If you don't speak out, you are complicit. #palestine

Spot the cat + another fine job from the Tatami Mat Bike Workshop. Even if I do say so myself...If you want a front carrier for a 700c bike, this Adept Truss Porter might fit the bill. Good for up to 10 kg, I'll use it for my bedroll & boxes of tomatoes...Peace x. #cycling #altcycling #DIY #cats

It's a national holiday here in Japan. Usually, I'm on my bike for a day out, but today I'm switching the front & rear tyres to get more miles out of them & polishing the aluminium frame. After that...maybe I'll take the Bridgestone out. #cycling #japan

Today's bike ride along the Sagami River in Kanagawa was a cracker. Got my feet wet, though 😁. #cycling #japan

Hi everyone! Here's a really relaxing bike ride along the scenic Nogawa River in western Tokyo. Why not come along & listen to some classic Indie dreamers as well ride along? You even get to hear me 'wax lyrical' in my native English Black Country dialect! 😁 Please enjoy it! youtu.be/PbRxGRJhAIo?...

Tokyo graffiti. #cycling

I remember dignified & intelligent journalists speaking calmly with articulate, thoughtful & well-read interviewees & current affairs panelists. There was polite intellectual 'cut & thrust' between politicians who understood history well despite having different interpretations of it. It was on TV.

The first morning in Tokyo that feels like autumn in 2025. 6:25. 23°C. Light rain. Fresh as a daisy compared to the oppressive summer humidity. I'll ride my bicycle today. No fenders. Don't care🚴😆Peace x🌳🍁🌧️😁 #tokyo

Random bike pic. I saw this well-used & clearly loved Panther in the shopping mall bicycle parking lot. It's a basic Japanese brand & the bikes have good quality budget Shimano parts. The rider also chose budget accessories which is why I like it. It gets the job done. Nothing fancy. Peace x
