As part of our ongoing program to increase awareness about bicycle racing, we have
partnered with Wieler school Japan, run by Mr. Blacky Nakajima who specializes in
giving the local elementary school children the guidance that they need for safe
riding.
They were also given a treat when the Utsunomiya Blitzen rider’s took time off from
their transfer day today to grace the event and alongside Blacky showed the students effective bike handling techniques and skills to better equip the students in their next cycling adventure.
