We’re currently on day 3 of our Kansai Cycling Japan Bikepacking trip. Earlier today we road our road bikes from Kyoto to Osaka along the river cycling path and fueled up with some burritos.

We still had some energy and some time to kill, so we decided to check out the nearby 4 story UNIQLO store to see if they had any of the infamous Bianchi shirts that I’ve been seeing my students wearing lately.

I’ve seen multiple of my students wearing these Bianchi road bike shirts lately, and when I asked them about it, most of them said they did not know what Bianchi was, but that they liked the design and they bought it at UNIQLO (a popular clothing store in Japan).

I hadn’t been to a UNIQLO store in months (or maybe even a year or more), so we went in to verify if these shirts existed or not.

We ended up finding 4 different models at this store, but they were all different than the t-shirt I had seen most of my students wearing. All of them were under 1,000 yen ($10 USD), so they’re pretty good deal for a cycling shirt.

Of these 4 designs/colors, which one do you think is best? Celeste (green), black, white, or orange?

We also checked out some of the other t-shirts they had for sale, and they’re currently doing a shounen jump anniversary celebration, so there were a bunch of anime shirts like Dragon Ball and Naruto, so we nerded out a little bit ^^;;
