Hidenori Nodera, the sports director of the bicycle road race team, gave a presentation on the history of Sakai and the relationship between the city and bicycles to students. Then, the students split into groups, and seven riders from the team explained the characteristics of road bike for racing in a fun way.
The participating students were very interested in the fascination of road bikes up close, as well as their lightness and functionality when they actually touched them.
