| I have also very cute bike, and I love cycling around town I live. |

| Aoi's character design looks a lot like Mio's from K-ON. Very fun episode. Like Aoi said, it's a basic rule to not exercise in general if you haven't had proper sleep or nourishment. Biking is pretty tough if you're going up a slope, requires more energy to pedal. What I like the most about the show is the scenery, very pleasant to see. Not very fond of those energy packs much like Ami. I guess it's because they are too sweet. This will probably be the SOL show of the season. |
 |
| Ami and Aoi are complete carbon copies of Yui and Mio from K-ON! Plus the animation is pretty bland... Dropped. |
| As expected, this mostly just made me shameful that I can't enjoy riding due to a sucky knee. It was nice though, since anything cycling is fun for me. |
 |
| This was okay so far. The most disturbing thing is that Japan can have a beautiful and well-maintained bike path, while in my degenerate country one takes his life in his hands on our local BP. The nearby bike path along the river is a den of muggers and rapists. |
| Bakuon with bikes. Love it already! |

| That was almost everything I could have asked for from a show in this genre. |

| When Ami reacted to seeing that folding bike the first time, the first thing that popped into my head was: |
 |
| one improved thing is the characters are college students. |
| So it's the female version of Yowamushi Pedal. Not that I'm complaining. It will be nice filler while i wait for other anime. |
Around and around the cycle goes. |
Lingwisyer said: Ami, a girl who is does not appear to be athletic and doesn't seem to have any background with bikes can suddenly ride like 10+ km at a speed that looks to be 20+ km/hr on a bike with a foot diameter wheel... And they only stopped because she was running empty... Man does she have talent and a half decent fitness level... Because anime hates logic, that's why. |
 |
| This was kinda okay I guess. The characters didn't feel that fun so far. Ami was okay, Aoi was okay, the big boob girl was okay, the little blonde girl was nice. Kinda okay everyone. Maybe I'll come to like them a bit more but so far, not so much. Ami is taking up cycling and she was so excited that she named her bike, didn't sleep enough, didn't have breakfast, and ended up almost passing out. The little girl was nice as she helped them out. Ami is interested in cycling but isn't interested in all the aftereffects and fatigue that accompany it. The episode was okay but didn't leave any impact. I'm not sure whether to continue or not. The characters will get properly introduced next week but this episode was only okay and nothing more. It might end up not making the cut. |
| This was really cute and enjoyable like i was expecting! Sad to see such a low score already but its MAL so its to be expected. |
| Does anyone know the brand of folding bike that was in the first few minutes? Yowamushi did use the brand names in their series. I say Aoi had an "alternate" spelling for the Giant brand hybrid bike. I wonder if they did the same for the folding bike. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| oh the cgdct that i always like =D gonna enjoy this was expecting ami to fall at the start but i guess she didn't LOL also ami has Touyama as her VA (same as Rin from bakuon), awesome =D aoi has VA from airi (oni chichi) ...nice nice haha |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| Wow the first half is probably the most blatant K-On rip off I've ever seen except it's using bike instead of music. The character designs are the same (Yui and Mio), their personalities are the same (one dojikko and one serious somewhat-experienced tsukkomi), the main character both chose a cheaper instrument/bike just because they're cute and afterwards hugging their guitar/bike in their bedroom saying they'll be together from now on, and then naming their guitar/bike in the most cliche way (giitah/ponta-kun). Heck even their main reason for taking a new hobby is the same (wanting to change themselves). Well.. I just hope there won't be too many familiar scenes from now on. Ah but I'll bet that polite big-boobed girl is an ojou-sama. Nice OP and ED though. |
 |
| In truth, I was looking for something light to enter the world of cycling, not to start with a more challenging anime: I found the right one. The characters remind me a little of those GuP, but the context is similar to that of Bakuon. I am not surprised by what I saw, it was all as I imagined it, a nice story with cute characters. Not bad CG, but in certain contexts I not like it, good job of directing and great choice in scenographic cuts. The landscape was really nice. |
 |
| This first episode was so much fun! I really liked the characters and the scenery was so pretty sometimes. Probably going to become one of my favorites this season. |

Stark700 said: Well I guess it was okay. Not a big fan of the bikes' designs yet though. The show reminds me somewhat of Bakuon! but with bikes rather than motorcycles.  Hinako is cute. And no Stig clone . . . |
| Definitely not going to be my AOTY, but this was cute and something nice to relax to. I'll be sticking around. The main character reminds me of Yui but on a bicycle. |
| is anime progressing slowly out of the high school trope?! one can dream big plus on that part. was a okay CGDCT start i could of sworn there was another girl bike show coming out soon so this one caught me off guard. OP by Ray is great as well! |
 |
| This is like the exact copy of Bakuon but instead, it's JITENSHA! 4/5. |

NOW, if we go by the previews, using that folding bike in the biking club, then I would agree she would be left behind.Lingwisyer said: Ami, a girl who is does not appear to be athletic and doesn't seem to have any background with bikes can suddenly ride like 10+ km at a speed that looks to be 20+ km/hr on a bike with a foot diameter wheel...

kirinonakano said: ZetaZaku said: The characters aren't nearly half as fun as the Bakuon cast, they seem closer to K-On, and that's bad. But we'll see how their dynamic ends up working out. but K-on characters>>>>Bakuon in every way Fluffy hair > KyoShit |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| This girl really likes bikes. REALLY likes them. |

NOW, if we go by the previews, using that folding bike in the biking club, then I would agree she would be left behind. Have you tried biking before? This is subjective but when i'm an amateur in riding a bike, riding for 4 kilometers (or 2.4 miles) is quite hard. Then again, my 2.4 miles is sometimes crossing hill road. Your 6 miles (which i don't know where you get the number from) is most likely either bike-special road like in this anime and no hill. |
|
| Mio from K-on is cute :). Very funny to see Ami fall in love of her bike. I hope that there will be some competitions in this anime. |
| Eh, it wasn't bad, but the characters are a bit too bland so far. I had this nagging feeling during the first half that I was watching a pale imitation of K-On; the bike selection sequence reminded me of Yui choosing her guitar minus most of the liveliness and fun. Things got better when the actual cycling began and the two other girls were introduced, though, so I'll stick around for now. |
| I personally loathe how Ami still acts like a freshman in a high school anime even though all the main characters are in college. Everyone else in this show seems fine. Other than that, the only other thing that really bothered me was how I couldn't tell if Ami had previously known how to ride a bike before. It kind of builds up all of a sudden where she wants to try cycling, but she knew how to ride a bike so easily? Yet the way she describes riding the bike + the way she looks at that folding bike at the start makes it feel like it's still her first time.. I don't know anymore. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| hmm from wht i saw in the ep the main girl's bike is "Pontiac" in real life (anyway Pontiac was a defunct car brand of GM) |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
gophercg said: hmm i think this is much better than Regalia and anyway Regalia is more like M3 to me and tbh this anime ha no yuri vibes :Pfor actas, Regalia is a million times better than this. But for sol, does the job, more pastely version of Yowaped/Bakuon. Animation & her facials were good. Other characters need more liveliness tho. |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
Regalia looks good but plot is shit while this looks and is mediocre slice of life. |
 |
gophercg said: pretty much. Regalia pacing drags too much. So far they only reveal hints of the past, no idea why they're fighting. Latest episode is pretty much only watchable. |
|
| Oh man, will this be like the one with the motorcycle girls? Could I sit through that again? Well, it's off to a pretty okay start, it was pretty cute and entertaining, and while there seems to be a whole lot of similarities to Bakuon, there also seems to be a lot of differences, so I think I can last, at least for a bit, but I'll have to see how this turns out later. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| I hope this will be Yowamushi Pedal female version but i doubt it. |

I've even done the half Ironman distances twice this past season. I usally ride 20 miles at any one time (200+ miles a month). My first "tri" bike was a Trek Talon and I had to work to get 16MPH on it, but that was due to the weight of the bike (about 27 lbs) and how out of shape I was. I now ride a Cevelo P2 and hit anywhere from 22-27MPH on a flat. So yes, I have tried biking before. (I'll get a pic of me on my Cervelo) |

I got the 6 miles when in your original post you said "an[sic] suddenly ride like 10+ km at a speed that looks to be 20+ km/hr on a bike with a foot diameter wheel." Ten kilometers is 6.2 miles. ;) (I also run races up to marathons, not very fast btw). I think Ami could handle 20+kmh (~12 MPH) for short distances. I bet Aoi had to slow down quite often. |

| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| great first ep definitely like bakuon but i feel like ima enjoy this one even more than bakuon though bakuon is still an amazing series and all just something about this series that just grabs my attention alot more than bakuon did so am really looking forward to more of this series |
| "one step at a time" |
| They're only in college cause you need to be 20+ to ride in races for Audax Japan which they'll do later. Nice start, way more down to earth than bakuon. Eating and sleeping is important or you'll get a hunger knock XD Love at first sight <3  |
