    I’ll post the participant list for PauseTalk Vol. 20 later this week — 22 participants, pretty good considering the entire cafe has 24 seats! For now I’ll point you to a Flickr photoset by Rafael de Lima, who attended last night’s edition.

    The big change in my cycling life this week is that my wife has joined in on the fun. Is it much of a surprise if I tell you that she got a MUJI bike as well? She got the model pictured above, the Aluminum ATB Type Bicycle. I always figured I’d eventually upgrade and…

    Regular readers will know that I often make sly comments about Bape, and the fact that their Tokyo stores are usually empty (at least when I go).
