Marikina, MarikitPABA?



Along with the morning bike ride I made today, I also took pictures of what I saw on the Riverbanks area and the "bike lanes".

The pics...

After "Hagupit ni Habagat"...

And the "bike lanes"...

Bike Way, NO Way???

Bike Way, NO Way???

Bike Way, NO Way???

Bike Way, NO Way???

Some of my group members from Tiklop Society of the Philippines already made an advocacy bike ride to these so-called "bike lanes" and had a positive result after a week or so. But then again, some people really don't know the word "responsible", so to speak...

Sad, sad, sad...


All pictures from this album and was taken by my trusty Sony-Ericsson Xperia W8.

August 12, 2012 Loop Ride





Finally, I was able to take the supposed to be route I planned on this blog entry. 

Hopefully I can do much longer loop rides on the coming days...

July 29, 2012 Loop Ride





My original plan of taking a loop ride from my home place in QC - all the way to San Mateo via Batasan-San Mateo Road, Marikina via Marcos Hi-way, UP via Katipunan, then back home via Commonwealth, was aborted due to unpredictable weather condition last Sunday morning (trans: may bagyo!!!). Hehehehehe.

I just made a loop ride instead, based on the above map. Thus also had a route going back to IBP Road from Petron along Batasan-San Mateo Road.

Total distance traveled: 16.95 kms. based on my CycleDroid.


It was nevertheless a good ride on that wet/gloomy/stormy Sunday morning! :-)


Edit: Removed the zoom-able view as it's no longer viewable :(
