それは突然起こる､何かを踏んだわけでもなく
疲れが溜まっていたのか､信号待ちからいざペダルに体重をかけ進みだしたかと思った瞬間の違和感……

2026年の始め風の強かったあの日､レッスンを終え発表会最終全体リハーサルの前に以前の病院横浜の弟の元へ逢いに行こうかと川沿いに出ようと信号待ちをしていたら､飛んできたポスターに付いていた画鋲がまさかの的中……

前輪に刺さりパンク､自転車屋さんを探し数時間歩き回り最終全体リハーサルへ少し遅れて到着したあの日を思い出す出来事……

先週末日曜日レッスンへ……
東京側へ渡る橋の前の交差点の信号待ちをしていて
青信号になりいざ進もうとペダルに足をかけ踏み出した瞬間､後輪が……

そこから自転車を降り押しながら橋を渡り
橋から一番近い年初めのパンク時にも行った自転車屋さんに行ってみると
まだ午前中だったのもあってか
すぐ対応してくださり､でも修理が終わるのがレッスン後……

家だったら自分ですぐに直せるパンクも
自分だけではなく他のお客さんの修理もあり
時間がどうしてもかかってしまう……

頭の中でどうしようか考える
電車に乗ってレッスンへ向かうかそれでもどこかでJRに乗り換えなければならないけれど､そんなことをしていたら間に合うのか……

自分はいつも早めの行動なのでその日も30分前にスタジオに着けるように余裕を持っていたのですがそれでも間に合うかわからない

しかもそんな日に限っていつもアシストしてくださる先生もお休み……
どうしようか悩んでいるいと
店員さんが､代車をお貸ししましょうかと……
えっ!車ならわかるけど自転車でも代車?
是非お願いします!

と……言ったけどどんなママチャリが出てくるのかと思っていたら､意外にもスポーツタイプの自転車……
これならスタジオへも間に合うかも……
それからお店の名前がドンと書いてある少し恥ずかしい自転車に乗りスタジオへ……

到着するなりいつもより早く来たニコちゃんと自転車置場で会い
あきちゃんと声をかけられ自転車がパンクして大変だったよと小学新四年生に愚痴る……

また……あの時と一緒じゃんと笑われる(笑)

最初は入院前の事故で額と目蓋を14針縫い
前回は前輪画鋲でパンク､今回は謎に後輪のパンク(原因は不明三ヶ所に穴)……
頑張ってくれている自転車も疲れが溜まってきているのか､ちゃんと大切にしてあげないと次はフレームが折れたりして……

人も疲れるけど同じ様に頑張ってくれている自転車は人以上に疲れているのかもしれませんね……

ごめんよ二号……三号四号は未だに部屋でインテリア状態で出番を待っていて一号は事故でハンドルバーとタイヤフレームが曲がったまま修理してあげられてなく……
そろそろ三号の出番かな……
三号が頑張ってくれている間に一号を修理二号をオーバーホールして……
でも四号の出番はいつになるのか……
飾られたまま家のインテリアになってしまうのかな……

なんて､日頃頑張ってくれている自転車も大切にしてあげなければなと感じた瞬間でした……

そんな日曜日小銭入れにパンク修理代くらいしか持っていってなく(笑)
大きい自転車屋さんはお金をかけてくるので
何でやねんと思うほどの修理代を後日支払いと引き取りに行くことにし､代車をお借りしたままレッスン後弟の元へ……

川沿いはお花見の人々でいっぱい
前日の雨風が散らした桜の花びらの絨毯があちらこちらで感じることが出来たあたたかな春陽気の日曜日

代車のお陰でレッスンにも30分前にスタジオに間に合い
弟の元へも帰りに逢いに行け
あちらこちらで桜を感じられた週末

そんなこんなで月曜日も橋を越え東京側へ
少し恥ずかしい代車を返却し二号を引き取り､弟の病院へ……
昨日は弟の奥さんとお母さんと一緒に伸輔の髪をカットし整えてあげました
自分はアシスタントでしたが､奥さんに髪を切ってもらう穏やかな表情の伸輔……
先週も安定せず苦しい日々は今週もまだ続いていますが
一歩一歩今週も家族で乗り越えて闘ってゆきます｡

始まりの月曜日も暖かな春の空気
いや春を通り越して初夏のような空気に街中ではTシャツ短パン人を見かけるほどあたたかな新しい一週間の始まりでした

改めまして新しい一週間明けましておめでとうございます
慌ただしい空模様だった先週も一週間お疲れ様でした……
一週間ありがとうございました……

桜まみれの景色も少しづつ花が散り緑が目立ち始めました……

先週から今週初めまでに見た桜の景色を今週も……
朝の神社にて

月曜日の朝から夕暮れ前の工業地帯にて

桜まみれだった先週末から昨日の春陽気の一日

今週で桜色は見上げた世界より足元に感じるようになるのかな……

新しい一週間も春を春色を春の風をめいいっぱい感じる心あたたかな日々·時間でありますように……

優しい風がいつも心にそっと吹きますように……

いつもありがとうございます……

今週も一週間､メンバーの声と共に優しい風を感じてください……

よろしくお願いします……

今週前半も､長たらしい文章を時間に余裕があるときに感じてください(笑)……

それではまた明日
強く優しくあたたかく
生きよう｡

月曜日の朝陽
ちなみに自転車屋さんの名前もあさひでした…….(笑)

Bakutai: Thank you for working hard every day since that day.

It happens suddenly, I didn’t step on anything
Maybe I was tired, but the moment I thought I was putting my weight on the pedals after waiting at a traffic light, I felt something strange…

On that windy day in early 2026, after I finished my lesson and before the final rehearsal for the presentation, I was waiting at a traffic light to go out along the river to visit my younger brother at my old hospital in Yokohama, when a thumbtack attached to a flying poster hit the mark…

This reminds me of the day I got a puncture on my front tire, walked around for several hours looking for a bicycle shop, and arrived a little late for the final rehearsal…

Last weekend I went to Sunday lesson…
I was waiting at the traffic light at the intersection in front of the bridge crossing to the Tokyo side.
The moment the light turned green and I put my foot on the pedal to proceed, the rear wheels…

From there, I got off my bike and pushed it across the bridge.
I went to the bicycle shop closest to the bridge, where I had gone when I had a flat tire at the beginning of the year.
Maybe it was because it was still morning.
They responded immediately, but the repairs were only completed after the lesson…

Punctures that you can easily fix yourself at home
Repairs not only for myself but also for other customers.
It takes a lot of time…

think about what to do in your head
I have to take the train to the lesson or change to JR at some point, but if I do that, will I be able to make it in time?

I’m always an early worker, so I made sure to arrive at the studio 30 minutes early that day, but I still wasn’t sure if I’d make it in time.

Moreover, on such days, the teacher who always assists me is also absent…
I’m worried about what to do
The clerk asked if I could borrow a loaner car…
Eh! I understand if it’s a car, but how about a bicycle?
Please do so!

As I said that, I was wondering what kind of mama’s bike would come out, but surprisingly it turned out to be a sports type bike…
With this, I might be able to get to the studio in time…
Then I got on a slightly embarrassing bicycle with the name of the shop written on it and went to the studio…

As soon as I arrived, I met Nico-chan, who came earlier than usual, at the bicycle parking lot.
I complained to a new fourth grader that I had a hard time because Aki-chan called out to me and my bicycle got a flat tire…

Again…I’ll be laughed at for being the same as that time (lol)

Initially, I received 14 stitches on my forehead and eyelids due to an accident before I was hospitalized.
Last time I got a front tire puncture due to a thumbtack, and this time I mysteriously got a rear tire puncture (the cause is unknown and there are holes in three places)…
The bicycle you’ve been working so hard on may be getting tired, and if you don’t take good care of it, the frame will break next time…

People get tired too, but the bicycles that are working hard might be even more tiring than people…

Sorry, No. 2… No. 3 and No. 4 are still waiting for their turn in the interior in the room, and No. 1 has a bent handlebar and tire frame due to an accident, and I haven’t been able to repair it…
I guess it’s time for No. 3 to appear…
While No. 3 was working hard, I repaired No. 1 and overhauled No. 2…
But when will No. 4 come out…
I wonder if it will become the interior of the house while being displayed…

It was at that moment that I felt that I had to take good care of the bicycles that I worked so hard for on a daily basis…

On those Sundays, all I had in my coin purse was money to repair a flat tire (lol)
Big bicycle shops charge money.
I decided to pay the repair bill and pick it up at a later date, so I borrowed a loaner car and went to my younger brother after the lesson…

The riverside is full of people enjoying the cherry blossoms.
It was a warm spring Sunday where you could feel the carpet of cherry blossom petals scattered everywhere by the rain and wind from the previous day.

In an industrial area from mid-morning to just before dusk on MONDAY.

Thanks to the loaner car, I was able to arrive at the studio 30 minutes early for the lesson.
Go see your brother on your way home.
A weekend where you could feel cherry blossoms everywhere.

Just like that, I crossed the bridge on Monday and headed towards Tokyo.
I returned the slightly embarrassing loaner car, picked up No. 2, and headed to my younger brother’s hospital…
Yesterday, I cut and styled Shinsuke’s hair with my brother’s wife and mother.
I was an assistant, but Shinsuke had a calm expression as his wife cut his hair…
Last week’s unstable and difficult days are still continuing this week.
Step by step, we will fight through this week as a family.

Warm spring air on the first Monday
It was the beginning of a warm new week, with the air feeling more like early summer than spring, and you could see people in T-shirts and shorts on the streets.

Happy new week once again
Thank you for your hard work last week, which was a busy week…
Thank you for the week…

The scenery covered in cherry blossoms has gradually fallen and the greenery has begun to stand out…

This week’s view of the cherry blossoms I saw from last week to the beginning of this week…
MONDAY morning at the shrine.

I wonder if this week I’ll start to feel the cherry blossom color more beneath my feet than when I look up at the world…

May this new week be filled with warm days and hours where you can feel the spring colors and the spring breeze…

May the gentle wind always blow gently into your heart…

Thank you as always…

This week as well, please feel the gentle breeze along with the voices of the members…

Thank you in advance…

In the first half of this week, please feel free to write long sentences when you have time (lol)…

See you tomorrow
strong, gentle and warm
Let’s live.

MONDAY sunrise…….

Akihiro Takahashi
