This is awesome. In Japan bicycling tends to be seen as a method of transportation, a means to an end, rather than an enjoyable sport or hobby; it's cool to see bicycling for fun being popularized by manga.

One of the characters in No-Rin talks about the same thing - maybe this is an actually viable marketing plan in Japan? |

There's already enough Mamachari on Japan's sidewalks not looking who they might hit.

yeah, k-on sells guitar. Kami no Shizuku manga sells wine. |

So, I've actually watched the first 5 or so episodes of this today because of this article, and it's actually really enjoyable. Fun characters and ridiculous sports shounen antics with actual bicycle and cycling information and strategy. I can certainly see why this is getting people into bicycling.

This is one of my favorite anime from 2013. It deserves all the popularity. I'm so happy for it.

By first creating a runaway-hit manga about it? 
That sounds like the old joke about how to make a million on Wall Street. spoiler[start with ten million, and...] |

Bikers are awesome until they block the entire lane when you are trying to get to work on time.
