$200 bike

Toronto, 2019.12.21

Typical department-store bike targeted at teenagers. At 19,000 yen, it's about $200. This is a fairly recent advent, clearly taken from the West, in that it lacks the utilitarian style of the "mamacheri" ("mama" plus the sound the bell makes), with step-through frame and complete lack of adornment. For bonus points, spot the bike branded with the "Fairlady Z" name. That's the domestic name for Nissan's Z370, which is a lot like a bicycle except that it has 800+ horsepower.
