Sino San during preparation.
The race took place around the Symbol Tower in the port of Yokohama, well-known place it seems among fishermen, they were a lot on the jetty.
Sino's ride : Kalavinka. Most of messengers I've seen this day were riding road race bike I think, but some ride fixed gear.
On the right Matthieu, only gaijin of the race, French messenger in Tokyo!
