Another series related to girls and bikes...heh.

I think this is becoming a trend recently with at least three of them announced this year.

Cute girls doing cute things except with bikes. Now, imagine them doing the Tour de France (which my dad likes).

I feel like there are many girls and bikes manga that are being animated. Is this a coincidence or something?

Awesome, my buddy now owes me 20$. I bet him that there would be a female bike anime within one year of Yowamushi Pedal ending, tops.

Another one? I wonder if these adaptions will be as popular as Yowamushi Pedal.

Now, I wonder if any big bike companies will get the product placement card.

I assume this is not going to be your shounen sports series but more slice-of-life, huh. Looks like something I can see Junichi Sato working on.

Your buddy owed you for a while then. Long Riders! (another female bike anime) got announced back in April.

If Junichi Sato were to work on it, I'd be sold on it right on the spot.

An anime about Bicycles?

Time to play Queen's Bicycle.

I look forward to all the contextually justified camera shots from behind, looking up slightly.

I know they aren't completely the same, and it would be equivalent to try and view Slam Dunk and Kuroko no Basket under the same light, but I can't help but feel that both this show and the previously mentioned Long Riders! are getting adaptation mainly due to Yowamushi Pedal's critical acclaim and sales. After a quick search across the net, I found that, excluding the 3 shows I mentioned here, there are 3 more cycling-related series that got animated across 4 entries: 2007's Over Drive, the Nasu series (which includes a 2003 movie, Andalusia no Natsu, and a 2007 OVA, Suitcase no Wataridori), and 2005-2006's Idaten Jump.; so yeah, getting 2 bicycle club adaptation announced just 4 months apart after a long "drought" it quite big.
