Jitensha!

I finally got my hands on a jitensha (bicycle). My host family from last semester allowed me to borrow one of their old ones! The bike's in great condition, actually. To my great frustration, I can't ride it yet, due to all the ownership laws that surround biking in Japan. I have parking permits for KGU's campus lots, but my dorm refuses to unchain (thanks, guys) my bike because I do not have the proper stickers to park in the dorm lot. It seems I need to make an ownership change at the bike shop from which the bike was purchased. It's all so complicated... I just want to ride my bike.
