Even though bicycles are the best option for getting around locally, I ended up leaving my beloved bike sitting unused for about two years.

相棒の自転車ですが、しばらく寝かしてたんですが久しぶりに表に出してあげました✨
Here’s my trusty bicycle—it had been sitting idle for a while, but I finally brought it out again. ✨
タイヤの空気が全然なくブヨブヨしてましたが復活です💨
The tire was completely flat and squishy, but it’s back in action now 💨
当時は自宅の駐車場(マンションなので)がいっぱいで少し遠いところに契約駐車場を借りての移動でしたので、徒歩ではダルかったので自転車を購入しました。
At the time, the parking lot at my apartment complex was full, so I had to rent a space a bit further away; walking back and forth was a hassle, so I bought a bicycle.
今は歩いて2分くらいのところに駐車場を借りられましたので、自転車に乗らなくなっての【放置】ということになりました😅
I’ve managed to rent a parking space just a two-minute walk away, so I’ve stopped riding my bicycle—which is how it ended up just sitting there unused. 😅
自転車は使い勝手は良いものの、乗らなくなっては物置に行くというのが常だと思いますが、そのままではもったいないですし売るにも面倒なのでどうしょうか?と考えてましたが一旦出してみることにしましたw
Bicycles are convenient, but it’s pretty common for them to end up gathering dust in the storage shed once you stop riding them. It feels like a waste to just leave it there, but selling it seemed like a hassle—so I wasn’t sure what to do. In the end, though, I decided to just put it up for sale and see what happens.
The bicycle I no longer ride is still in great condition, so I thought the best idea would be to give it to my son as a gift, but…
まさかの「要らない」と息子の反応💦
My son’s reaction was a total surprise—he said he didn’t want it! 💦
まだろくに自転車も乗れないので興味がないみたいです😅まだ低学年なので仕方ないんですが、焦らずにチャリを託そうと思います。
They can’t really ride a bike yet, so they don’t seem interested 😅 It’s to be expected since they’re still in the lower grades, so I plan to hold off on handing the bike over—no need to rush things.
今色んなところで自転車をシェアし置かれてますし、便利ではありますが使い勝手を考えるとやはり自分専用が一番よいというものでもあります☝️
Shared bicycles are available all over the place these days and are certainly convenient, but when you consider overall usability, having one of your own is still the best option.
なので折りたたみでコンパクトかつ軽量とカッコよさを求めての自転車は最高です✨
That’s why a folding bike—compact, lightweight, and stylish—is the perfect choice. ✨
贅沢を言えばペダルを漕ぐことなく座ってグリップを回したら電動で進むのが良いではありますが、現状の電動自転車は理想とは少し違うので求められませんが近い将来理想なる自転車の到来もあるかと思います😊
Ideally, I’d love an e-bike that moves forward electrically just by sitting on it and twisting the grip—without needing to pedal—but current models don’t quite match that vision. Still, I think a bike that truly fits that ideal might arrive in the near future. 😊
身体が元気なうちは運動がてらにペダルを漕いで汗を流すのも悪くないのでポジティブに行きます💨
As long as I’m fit and healthy, pedaling to work up a sweat is a great way to get some exercise, so I’m keeping a positive attitude! 💨
長年自転車乗ってない方にはあえてオススメですよ👍
I’d actually highly recommend this to anyone who hasn’t ridden a bike in a long time. 👍
