Partnering Bicycle Shop

We have often had the feeling that we should make the list of bike shops that give a welcome to non-Japanese cyclists. We call the shops along the EXPO RIDE route and give the shops the status of "partnering bicycle shop" if they express that they are aware and supportive EXPO 2005 RIDE. Also these shops give a welcome to non-Japanese cyclists. Hideo Tomita, one of our staffs, listed these shops and their informations such as address, phone, positioning data and so on. Now we introduce them.
