Takahashi, the driver, immediately stops his car to check on him though a little frazzled, Sakamichi is unscathed and doesn’t appear to be in distress. While singing along to the opening theme from Love Hime, Sakamichi’s bike is hit by a car, causing him to crash. On his first morning as a high school student, Sakamichi rides his bike up the sparsely-traveled rear gate slope that leads up to school. He is startled out of his thoughts when a martial arts club loudly rushes by he resigns that he’d never join an athletic club, even if he was invited to do so.
He decides his own after-school plans: traveling to Akiba to purchase a DVD and partake in the many other otaku activities he loves. In the present day, Sakamichi Onoda overhears other students discussing their after-school plans as he rides his mommy bike towards Chiba Prefectural Sohoku High School. The series opens with a brief flash-forward, showing three young men vying for first place in a cycling race while an unknown party narrates: “Top speed… That which uses blood, flesh, and bone to achieve humanity’s maximum speed is… the bicycle.”
