Synopsis
Mikoto Shinozaki is a high school student lacking in social awareness. In addition, due to his untidy appearance and low self-esteem, he is an easy target for bullies. Regardless, any misfortune that falls upon Mikoto is partly his own fault—at least, that is what Yuki Fukuzawa, the most popular girl in class, believes. With this assumption, Yuki invites Mikoto to join the school's bicycle club, in hopes he can improve himself and gain new friends. Motivated by feelings he has for Yuki, Mikoto has no reason to decline her offer—except for the fact that he does not know how to ride a bicycle. Despite his lack of even the fundamentals, Mikoto cannot get over the image of himself on a bicycle. Eventually, he succumbs to his curiosity and sneaks into the school grounds at night to practice. This begins Mikoto's journey as he pedals his way through the vast world of cycling, where the scenery of his life changes in ways he never thought possible. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

ryugarai★★★★☆EP 26Overall, this is a good anime but because of the excessive flashbacks at almost all episodes is so very annoying. The repetitive scenes of the flashbacks is a waste of what could've been used to focus on what this anime is all about.
ryugarai★★★★☆VerifiedEP 25I felt the emotion of Mikoto at the end of the episode, It's a powerful scene and humbling. A very great character development for the MC.
ryugarai★★★☆☆EP 24An uplifting episode, all the struggles paid off and its exactly what you would normally see in a cycling race. The writers did good minus all the flashbacks. This is one of the few good episode in this anime.
marisandini★★★★☆EP 26An absolute great ending of an episode. So much high school shenanigans while also contemplating the club's next goal together. Fun episode just to see them being goofy, a good way to wind down after the intense arc and victory only to look forward to the future.
marisandini★★★★☆VerifiedEP 25Not gonna lie, this is the funniest Award Ceremony I've ever watched in a sports anime. It had me giggling, and while I'm sad for Shinozaki the consequences and reward is apt for him. I love the fact that this whole race became the catalyst that made him fall in love with biking.
marisandini★★★★☆EP 24Absolute great payoff for the main cast and especially for the main character, all the while exploring the symbolism of bicycle for each of them. I love how much Yuki is full of contradiction, being so dismissive while acting as if she is the goal line. In a way, she's putting her hope and expectation on Shinozaki even without her realizing it.
ryugarai★★★☆☆EP 23Half of the episode is just filler, that is just so messed up. The race itself is nerve racking especially nearing the finish line. The writers could have made this episode more exciting than wasting on that filler.
marisandini★★★☆☆VerifiedEP 23I can't believe after the intense and emotional first half, they went for an almost filler like-episode for the second. I almost want to say it's a must skip if not for the exciting turnabout in the race in the beginning of the episode.
ryugarai★★☆☆☆EP 22Aside from the amount of flashbacks, this episode gives us an understanding of a character from his past experiences. But my gosh, enough with flashbacks already and focus on the race.
