Manager Korone, we're here.
Over here.
Ta-da!
It's your road racer, Maiharu Hiromi.
What? Mine?
My road racer?
It's very cool, Hiromi.
Yeah.
Manager, when did you build this?
This is that frame from the race, isn't it?
Yeah. It's a well-balanced bike you can use in races or on long rides.
This is amazing.
It's a proper bicycle now.
But where did you get the other parts?
Yeah, about that...
Guys, we're building a high school girl's first bike.
Could you bring me your leftover parts?
Yeah!
And that's how I made this.
I see.
They're so nice.
People who ride bikes switch out parts all the time.
Sometimes they have previous parts leftover.
It's easy to find enough for one bike when you pool your resources.
H-How much will this cost?
Since it was made from leftover parts, you don't need to pay me.
That's great, Hiromi.
B-But...
Are you sure I can have it?
We all worked together to get this frame.
Hiromi, you won this bike.
You stuck with it until the end and won.
Don't worry about it.
Yeah, yeah!
The manager went to the trouble of building it for you.
You should accept it.
There's no problem.
Hiromi-san, use it.
It's a present to you from us.
Thanks, girls.
I'll treasure my Unico forever.
Unico?
Yeah. Doesn't the light look like a horn?
So I'll call it Unico.
That's nice. I call mine Momo.
What? Akizuki-san, you named your bike, too?
Yeah.
What a great idea.
I'd like to name my road racer once I get mine.
How does Super Miracle Shado #1 sound?
"Shado"? You mean, like, "shadow"?
That sounds like a name out of a comic book.
No, "shado," the Japanese for "roadway"!
Unico... My very own road racer.
#10 Let's Go On a Trip!
Looking toward the future, you have to decide what your club is doing next.
Is there anything you want to do?
All I want to do is go somewhere far away.
Yes! I want to travel all across Japan.
Me, too. I'd like to visit places I've never been before.
Why don't you go on a trip, then?
A trip?
You can take your bikes on trains or planes and ride them at your destination.
Since it involves riding other means of transportation,
you can enjoy a much wider range of activities.
Really? That's amazing.
But can we take our bikes on trains?
Naturally, you can't bring them on fully assembled.
You'll have to break them down into a size designated by the railway company
and put them in a special packing bag.
Can we do that with our road racers?
Yep. Since road bikes are so light, you could say they're good for trips.
Then why don't we try that?
You're right. Oh, but Sandy has a mommy bike.
Oh, right. What should we do?
If you buy packing bags at my shop, I'll rent you a road bike.
What? Really?
Hooray! We'll buy them immediately!
But aren't they expensive?
About that...
Since you worked so hard at the criterium, our club got a little bit of money.
You haven't been recognized as an official club yet, but an exception was made.
What?
Really?
D-Do you think this is because we washed our money the other day?
Maybe it is.
Thank you.
Come again.
So these are packing bags, huh?
Will they really fit in these?
It'll be fine. I'll show you how to break down your bikes.
Thank you.
It took no time at all to break it down.
That's amazing.
Now you just put the bag over the parts.
All done.
Wow, it really fit.
When you put your bikes together, just do the steps in reverse.
Where should we go?
Any recommendations?
I want to ride all over Japan.
Well, since it's our first trip, I'd prefer to do a day trip.
So a place that isn't too far that has a lot to see would be...
the Miura Peninsula, I guess.
The Miura Peninsula?
Yeah. There's a naval port, fresh fish, and Miura radishes.
I think it'd be a fun place to tour around.
Wow...
I'd like to go.
In that case, why don't you start in Yokosuka and finish at Misaki?
You should be able to ride that course in a day.
It's decided.
The Minami Kamakura Girls' Bicycle Club's next destination is...
The Miura Peninsula!
Really? You're going to the Miura Peninsula next?
It's nearby, but I haven't really been there, so I'm excited.
I'd like to go too, once I get out of the hospital.
Fuyune, send me lots of pictures.
Sure. You can count on me.
Nat-chan, you got a letter from your parents.
Thanks, Auntie.
Doing well? Great! From Dad and Mom P.S. You can do it!!
They're as terse as ever.
I'd like to travel far away someday, too.
Huh? Sis, you're polishing your bike again?
Yeah. I'm going to be riding a lot tomorrow, so I thought I'd make it look nice.
I see. Can I help?
Yeah, thanks.
Bicycles will take you anywhere.
Across fields, over mountains, they travel along roads.
Unico, we're going to ride a lot together.
Hiromi, are you in there?
What?
I'm here to try a Japanese bath!
What?
What are you doing here?
I just met your mother. She invited me in.
What?
Hiromi, let me wash your back.
Y-You don't need to do that.
Oh, no. Korone told me this is how Japanese people bathe.
I've never heard that one before.
Hiromi...
Your swerves a little lacking.
Lacking what?
This area, around here.
And this...
Th-Those are called curves!
No, wait! Stop staring! You're embarrassing me!
No, no! There's no need to be shy!
This is part of naked bonding!
I'll wash your front next!
I can't wait to go to the Miura Peninsula.
Good morning, everyone.
Good morning, Hiromi.
Good morning.
Sensei, everyone's here.
Then, let's go.
While we're riding the train, our bikes will get in the way of other passengers,
so let's try to ride in separate cars.
Move to the edges once you get on.
Okay.
There.
Next stop, Yokosuka. Yokosuka.
We're almost there.
We're here!
That didn't take long at all.
I saw a bunch of cool boats from the train.
Are they over there?
Oh, I'd like to see them!
Let's go!
Don't rush.
Sensei, should we reassemble our bikes now?
Well, we'd get in the way here.
Why don't we go to a park?
All right!
Amazing.
They're so cool.
There are some American ships over there.
Oh, really?
There.
That should do it.
Make sure you check everything carefully.
It's not wobbling.
I'm good, too.
Everyone, look this way.
What do you think?
You look great, Sandy.
When did you get your uniform made?
Tomoe let me borrow one.
Yuika made a spare.
Really? That's great, Sandy.
Yeah.
Sensei, we're ready.
Let's go.
Does anyone need to use the bathroom?
I think I'm okay.
Me, too.
Let me tell you something about touring.
First, always go to the bathroom when you can.
If you suddenly need to go, there's no guarantee you'll be able to right away.
You maybe be able to in urban areas, but if you're in the mountains or by the sea,
you may not be able to find a bathroom immediately.
You're right.
And one more thing.
Buy as much fluid as you can, when you can.
Like bathrooms, you can't always get more when you need it.
There aren't any shops in uninhabited mountains,
and vending machines are sometimes broken.
It's important to always keep enough on you so you can drink anytime.
A-Actually...
I'm going to the bathroom.
Me, too.
I'll go buy some drinks.
Let's go together.
Now we're ready to start our Miura Peninsula tour.
Yeah!
We're riding through the city.
It's like a tropical paradise.
I know. Why don't we try forming a train?
Like we did during the criterium?
Yeah. It's a good opportunity to review.
Looking good.
We'll take turns leading the group as we ride along.
Okay.
We did it, girls.
Yeah, I think we managed okay.
What are you talking about?
It was really tough while Sandy was the leader.
She kept riding forward without any consideration for the train.
You're just too weak.
No, you ride too fast.
Okay, okay. Let's practice again.
Anyway, look. That's where we started.
What? It's so far away.
How surprising! I can't believe we've come so far.
We made it this far in the blink of an eye.
Road racers really are amazing.
Touring is fun, isn't it?
Right? Right? Right? Right?
How long did it take to get here?
Don't worry about that too much.
Forgetting the time and taking it easy is what makes touring fun.
You're right.
Hey, I can see Mt. Fuji.
What? Where?
Look.
You're right.
It looks smaller than it does from Kamakura.
But Mt. Fuji is beautiful, large or small.
I'd like to climb Mt. Fuji someday.
That's a good idea.
We can ride our bikes up to the fifth station.
It might be fun to ride there and hike the rest of the way up.
I'm going to run out of energy this time.
Let's do it together, Fuyune-san.
What? If only I could.
What kind of answer is that?
Going downhill is easy.
See you there, girls.
Fuyune-san, wait!
What?
Don't go any faster.
Your speed increases while you're going downhill, and it can be dangerous.
The rest of you, too.
You'll go faster than you think on downhills.
If you fall going at that speed, you could seriously injure yourself.
We'll be careful!
It's a tunnel.
Since it's narrow inside tunnels and you ride close to cars,
I don't like them much.
They're loud and echoey, too.
You're right.
Let's get through it quickly.
Yeah!
Kannonsaki Public Park Observation Area
Th-The tunnel was scary.
Yeah.
I thought I was going to get run over.
It's sweet.
It's good, isn't it?
What kind of tea is this?
It's called sherpa tea. It's a sweet black tea made with wild grapes.
It's drunk by sherpas who help people climb mountains.
It's supposed to re-energize you.
Really? You know a lot about tea.
Daddy and I used to drink it all the time when we went hiking.
Sandy-san, you're great at all kinds of outdoor activities.
No wonder you have so much stamina.
Unlike the ocean we see in Kamakura, we can see the opposite coast.
Is that Chiba Prefecture?
Yeah, it's the Boso Peninsula.
There are people living over there, too.
Of course.
I'd like to go there someday.
And even farther away.
Yeah.
I'd like to go, too.
They fell asleep.
So did Fuyune-san.
We did wake up early this morning.
I can't believe they can sleep out here.
Well, it can't be helped.
Let's wait until they wake up.
Yeah.
Good morning, Fuyune-san.
Huh? How long was I asleep?
About ten minutes.
What? I feel like I slept a lot longer than that.
Has the sun risen higher?
It's starting to get pretty warm.
It's perfect for touring.
They're up, too.
Tomo-chan, I'm hungry.
What? Did you eat breakfast?
I had some yogurt.
I thought I was going to be late.
That's no good.
Huh? Sensei's not here.
Did she go to the bathroom?
Oh, actually...
What?
You'll wake them.
B-But we can't go to Misaki without you.
It's impossible.
But it's no fun if I pull the whole way, right?
This is your club activity.
Don't you think getting lost together will be a good experience?
B-But... right?
Yeah.
Well, if you really get stuck, call me.
I'll be right there.
So she left us.
What?
Will we be okay?
Let's go, girls.
What?
We made it this far.
All we can do is move forward.
Bicycles can't go in reverse, right?
What?
Oh, Hiromi.
Shall we go?
Let's ride to Misaki.
Let's do this.
Let's head for the finish line.
Yeah, together.
Yeah!
The appeal of road bikes on full display makes you want to start riding tomorrow.

We're heading for Enoshima while making stops along the way
in our first cycling tour of Kamakura.
Last time we departed from Kamakura Station and enjoyed the Kotoku-in Temple.
Our next destination is...
It's a terrace with the view of the ocean
where you can eat sweets from a really stylish café.
I really want sweets! I want some of that.
Want to go?
Sweets on a terrace with a view of the ocean!
Our destination this time is a stylish cafe that serves sweets.
It's time to go.

We'll be riding along the coast towards Shichirigahama.
* Filmed on bicycle and pedestrian path
It's the ocean.
Wow.
This place is called Inamuragasaki.
Inamuragasaki
Enoshima is that way.
It's Enoshima. I can see Enoshima.
If the weather's good enough, you can even see Mt. Fuji clearly.
Let's make a stop here.
Okay.
Long time, no see.
There.
Make a turn at the Yukiaibashi signal, and the store we're headed to is right there.
Drum roll, please.
We're here?
This is it!
How stylish.
Isn't it?
Yeah, it's wonderful.
Yeah.
This is the Amalfi Caffe, the shop I just had to visit.
It makes you feel like you're at Italy's Amalfi Coast.
Delizie al limone ¥1000 with drink (includes tax) *As of February 2017
Their sweets are great, too.
Their most popular dish
is a traditional sweet served with refreshing lemon-flavored cream,
the delizie al limone.
After tiring my body out riding a bike,
it feels great to fill it with something sweet.
Yeah.
Why don't you stop by?
