Yeah, a lot of my Kansai- and Kantou-residing friends are randomly getting stopped for bike check O_o

My sensei said that the only time her bike got stolen was in Tokyo.

Bike or bicycle? I got confused for a second there. 8D

Oh, you in Japan too? Along with blotty?

I thought bike and bicycle can be interchangeable unless you have previously indicated in context if the object in question is a motorbike.

Yes, I'm in Japan with blotty.

Bike thief O_o And they can actually have the number checked and everything.

Have more fun there! I'm envious :D

Yeah, it seems that there's a registry for bikes and stuff.

Awww, don't be. I'll come back with presents?
