Summary
Riding in Hokkaido isn't always about perfect conditions. In this episode, I head out into strong winds and end up learning something unexpected: a great ride doesn't have to be long to be meaningful. That experience leads into a bigger idea, what actually makes Hokkaido different from the rest of Japan. With people and influences from all over the country, Hokkaido has developed a culture that feels unique, even within Japan itself. If you've ever had a ride that didn't go to plan, or wondered what makes cycling here so different, this one's for you.
