My Ring bike shop

If you happen to find yourself in Numazu during your travels around the most exciting and happening places of the world and in need of a bicycle, go to My Ring bike shop. The man running the store speaks English and is very nice to deal with. You can buy or rent a bike (hire fee 300 yen per hour, which is peanuts), or get your own bike repaired there. My personal experience today was that I took my bike in for a repair, he fiddled with it for a bit and then said he'd need to order in an extra part for it which would take four days and I could borrow one of his bikes while mine was out of action. He didn't ask for a deposit, or to see my passport, or anything for that matter. I was very impressed. The Numazu Traveler has said everything else there is to know about My Ring so you can find more useful information including how to get there here.
