I had a wonderful day in Nara, riding a very cool and little Brompton bike. Takashi is extremely accommodating and knowledgeable. We went to the major historic and cultural heritage sites, where I was able to pay attention to a lot of details, and understand the underlying cultural aspects behind the architects, paintings and arts etc..(exactly what i wanted as this was my revisit to Nara). The bike was also easy to ride, it offered a lot of flexibility and we were able to navigate through the crowd easily, finding a lot of photographic spots that were nice and quiet. Such a great way to tour around the city, and I would certainly love to jump on another Brompton tour in the future!
