“My career has been the study of mechanical engineering and graphic design. It has also been the creation of personal artwork. In each of these pursuits I have drawn many lines based on things received from others. In this way I continue forward alongside and following the lines.” – Hideki Inaba, Artist www.hidekiinaba.com
Tokyobike is a small, independent bicycle company founded in 2002 in the quiet Tokyo suburb of Yanaka. Based on the concept of “Tokyo Slow” the bikes are designed to be light to ride with an emphasis on comfort over speed. The bike is simply a way to enjoy your city; it is as much about the journey as the destination.
