The manga follows Ami Kurata, a first year college student with no special qualities. One day she happens to notice someone riding a folding bike, immediately falls in love with it, and uses all her savings to buy one. She eventually gets introduced to the world of long-distance bicycling and road racer bikes, and she forms a cycling team called Fortuna with four other female college students from the same school. Their goal is to ride in a "brevet" or long-distance event called "Fresh."

Where it came from
Long Riders! originated as a manga series by Taishi Miyake before being adapted into a twelve-episode television anime by studio Actas in 2016. The series focuses on the hobby of long-distance bicycle touring, specifically following university student Ami Kurata as she discovers the joy of riding and forms a cycling club with her friends. It emerged during a period of rising interest in niche hobbyist anime, aiming to capture the technical details and camaraderie associated with road cycling culture.
The production sought to balance lighthearted slice-of-life storytelling with a genuine appreciation for cycling equipment and scenic Japanese routes. While the series was designed to appeal to cycling enthusiasts and fans of character-driven narratives, it faced notable production challenges that led to delays during its initial broadcast. Despite these technical hurdles, it remains recognized for its specific focus on the physical and social aspects of cycling as a lifestyle pursuit.
