(One episode watched):

Well, this isn't a bad show, but it's not really a good one, either. It's pretty average. It has some charm, but is pretty predictable. It was obvious that at some point Ami and Aoi would run into the two experienced cyclists who gave them a hand during their first long ride again. The jokes were mediocre. Ami says she has gotten into bicycling in order to 'change' herself, which might be interesting; but only if her character is given some depth, and we sense what she doesn't like about herself and what she wants to accomplish. So far, there's no sign of that, just that she tends to trip while walking--not exactly a gripping problem. Long Riders is looking to be a lesson on how to go about long distance bicycling, with some weak jokes and weak characters thrown in to help tell the story. If you're curious about biking, you might find this show to be worth watching, but I'm not and my time is at a premium, so I think I will pass on Long Riders. If the first episode of a new series doesn't give you a sense of the characters and plot being dynamic and interesting, or the jokes being laugh-worthy, chances are that none of those things is ever going to happen in succeeding ones.
