Imaging Business
Unlike in developed cycling countries such as Europe, the U.S., and Australia, the status of cycling is very low in Japan. LIDAS is committed to visually communicating the value, benefits, and utility of cycling through video, writing, and other media. We will work to dispel the existing general image of bicycles and create an image that will facilitate the spread of sports bicycling in Japan.

Cycle Tourism Business Training Course
Creating cycle tourism cannot be accomplished by simply printing out courses and maps and handing them out, or by drawing lines on roads and erecting signboards. It is essential to train people who are rooted in the community, who can direct the community, and who have knowledge and experience specialized in cycling. The objective of this program is to provide participants with knowledge and skills related to tourism cycling, rather than the existing training courses that focus on racing and training.

Cycling Tour Business
Cycling tours such as "Japanese Original Landscape Cycling," "Old Street Bicycle Trip," "Inbound Tour," and "E-bike Trip" are so-called "travel" tours that break away from the conventional cycling style of just riding fast, far, and high. Cycling in Japan is mostly a style of riding through the country on a road bike. But in the rest of the world, sports bicycles are enjoyed in a variety of ways. In Japan, sightseeing tours are often group tours or theme park tours, and there are very few tours that allow visitors to experience the essence of the scenery, landscapes, and local communities. Lydas' paid cycling tours offer a new style of cycling that allows you to explore and learn about the local area.

Cycling Business Support Project
The concept of cycle tourism is actually not recognized as a standard in the world. If anything, it is a concept unique to Japan. Cycling itself is a globally recognized sport and hobby, especially in Europe, the United States, and Australia. However, in Japan, cycling has become a very unique sport due to the particular road environment and the spread of the Galapagos-style bicycle. In Japan, however, cycling has become a very specific activity due to the peculiarities of the road environment and the prevalence of the Galapagos-style bicycle. We are aware of the unique nature of bicycles in Japan, and can offer a variety of proposals for developing bicycles as a means of regional tourism, while drawing on past experience to create a utilization of bicycles that is not merely a sport.
