Trivia
- While Takeshi was shown riding a Ridley bicycle during 41st Inter High and Kumamoto Race, during his challenge against Shoukichi on Osaka he was shown with a Look one. There's a possibility that he could have changed his bike on the same way as Sakamichi did during the story or his Ridley belonged to his club and he had to use his own after graduating.
