Ah the race continued. I'm impressed at how intense they made this turn out to be from this episode. I mean, everyone is giving it their all especially between the rival bike clubs. Hell, even that bear is trying his best.

A close race to the end but imo, the competition was intense.
I think everyone did great.

So the won the race by just a bit.
And they are getting there for the club as well.
It was also nice to see Fuyune's sister she seems like a nice girl.

I'm sticking by my prediction from last week, that bear had some big tits in the preview for next week! XD Anywho, fuck yeah! Hiromi won! With the power of magical sakura petals and magical friendship bike pedals! XD And holy fuck...a talking pegasus was her prize! XD

Our race finally concludes.

Happy for Hiromi, she did her best with the help of her friends. :)
The Pegasus segment was pretty unusual. xD
Looks she got her favorite bike as a prize. :D

Bear is probably our next member. :3

Magic and unicorns, yeah, I'm glad the race event is over it was such a drag.

Anyway, the second part of the episode where things returned to usual slice-of-life stuff was kinda good. I guess that only proves my point that this series would be a lot better with more slice-of-life stuff and with only casual riding around the countryside...
Let's hope there is no second such arc coming in the remaining episodes of this anime.

Yeah, I guess it's pretty much given by now. Although there is scene with train in the op where Sandy and Kuma BOTH stands alongside others but I guess that could be just to confuse viewers.

Kuma-chan pretty much has to be the blonde grill, but that means the opening credits make no sense, not that it's not the first time opening credits have not made sense.

I liked the race sequences. Kept things very intense. Hiromi wins it for the team by a hair and avenges herself on Azuma.

When I first saw the prize Hiromi won I thought, "Why is Grandma giving her a toy horse?" until I understood she was hallucinating over the bike frame. That's some powerful LSD you've been taking Hiromi! Don't let your mom borrow your eye drops. Anyway, the Pegasus dream sequence was pretty cool. When she fell from the Pegasus I expected her to wake up having fainted in front of everyone, but she must have been in a waking dream for several minutes at least. How did she change into her swim suit?

The latter half was also very good with Fuyune's sis and Natsumi in the hospital, and the two "someone must be talking about me" sneezes.

So despite spending thousands of dollars on top notch bikes, they almost get rekt by a kid in a Bear Costume, and the lone swim Captain on a Moma bike...And that my friends is why this show will never be as big as Yowamushi Pedal or Long Riders.

Seriously why is the swim team Captain wasting her time swimming and is not on a bike? Give her a decent bike, and she could give Onoda from YP a run for his money!

i'm just glad that there's actually racing and it's at least semi realistic looking at their speeds of 26km/h this being the girls that only practiced one day from never biking. But even that was stretching it on road bikes. 10km for typical cyclists can maintain that easily without breaking a sweat but for others that never rode before it can really be a challenge. if those upper years sports teams where not on mommy bikes the race would have been over and the end of the anime ;)

Hooray they did it.

I thought I was listening to a South American football commentator because of the long "Goal"

More Mr.Bear next episode. I wonder if we will get to see who he/she actually is.

That was intense. Especially when that girl from the Swim club was closing in on Hiromi on the last lap. If Azuma won, I'd be piss. I just don't like her. Thankfully she lost and Hiromi won.

That Mr.Bear sure is mysterious. Nice that it won a special award.

The entire episode I liked the final part, where you meet Natsumi and sister Fuyune, perhaps because it was unexpected that part of the narrative, and the end of the race, when Hiromi wins by a hair; even there surprised me the episode, I thought that almost won the senpai, taking advantage of the bear's trail. Speaking about the bear, I wonder how can a person do to run so much a costume on him and finish the race, is a hero! Maybe now I understand a few choices of opening, but should not show the frame right now, but keep it well hidden to make us a surprise in the next episode. Oh well!

Your theory would be correct if the opening is not shown Sandy along with the other girls and the bear on the tram. However, it could also be because in the end, you can imagine from the bow that is a student of the first year of high school.

P.S. Cute end-card.

In some ways, the opening, was not immediately show all the characters, in the end, the surprise to discover them would have been greater, so instead, we are waiting for Sandy to a life, how sad! However, if under clothing from Bear, she was not there, it would be quite a coup, but eventually should explain well how does one join the club. In short, it is quite complicated. XD

GOOOAAAAL nice soocer match, Kuma loses steam and Hiromi beats the swim club captain this time and gets a bike frame that she sees as a pegasus cause she's so tired.
That flying hallucination/dream was cool and fuyune's sister talking to natsume.

Wouldn't it be nice to get series where main girl already knows a lot about bikes, has no hallucinations and such? Because it's something that Long Riders did too and it was also bad.

Race part was nice, maybe should be shorter. Swim team Captain might be best character in this series (Natsumi and Fuyune are fine too).

She won through the power of friendship and then there were flying horses because of course.

Three episodes for that race was too long, looking forward to more of Mr Bear next time.

They finally finished the race, and now I know what a tournament arc would look like in a bicycle anime. This was pretty freaking good, and more intense and enjoyable then I imagined it would be. And yeah, Mr. Bear is probably the blonde girl, at least I think so since the bear is getting more time next episode and were 8 episodes in now and she still hasn't showed up.

The Bear ended up losing lol
But great effort for giving the Bicycle a good battle. The air thing seemed so unnatural, like I find it hard to believe that leading the pack has that much wind being created.
The reward was pretty hilarious although it would have better if the winner received a free bike but that's just me.
Overall the episode was enjoyable.

A bit surprised 3 episodes were spent on this race, but it turned out to be a nice treat (especially since night riding is my favorite). That bear really went to town though. I wonder if it'll turn out to be the blonde girl from the OP.

Hiromi's fantasy dream reminded me of the Red Whirlwind from Romeo x Juliet. Looking forward to seeing her dream bike complete!

On the note of prizes, this series keeps delivering quality end-cards. I've been saving every episode's which I almost never do for other anime.
