A huge thank you to everyone who visited the TADE QUI POP UP STORE over the past three days. The highlight, as expected, was the new Best in Vest. It pairs perfectly with outdoor wear, cycling gear, and casual clothing alike, all while offering ample storage. It seems everyone who tried it on really felt its appeal, and some even purchased it and wore it on their ride immediately after.
TADE QUI RIDE
The highlight of the event was the ride we held on the final day. We invited the designer, Hosokawa-san, and headed out for a ride to Mount Mikuni.
Although we unfortunately couldn't see the panoramic view from the summit observatory, the weather was mild and very pleasant for riding.
There were 12 of us in total, including myself and Hosokawa-san, along with others who joined or left midway. From long-time regulars to those who have just started visiting the shop recently, it was a diverse group, and I believe it turned out to be a wonderful event.
While we rode together along the riverbed, the climb up Mount Mikuni was done at each person's own pace. Some pushed hard on the pedals, some rode with a nonchalant expression, and others chatted as they climbed. Despite these different styles, everyone came together for a friendly time at the summit.
The atmosphere stayed just as great even after we returned to the shop, and I really felt that this is the true charm of a group ride.
While this event was sparked by the TADE QUI POP UP, we plan to hold these rides regularly from now on.
We are still working out the details, but I think it would be great to make the Mount Mikuni ride a regular fixture. After all, the scent and scenery of the mountain change completely with every season.
