Solving our traffic woes, two wheels at a time

**badsekktor** · February 29th, 2012 12:06 PM

My only means to go to work is to pass NLEX everyday. Imagine kung bibisikletahin ko yan araw-araw.....approx. 32 kms one way.... kasabay mo pa mga balasubas na jeepney, buses at trucks....

yun isang kakilala namin na biker near sa farm namin. medyo may kaya din si tatang and ginagawa niya ang pagbibisikleta for health reasons. He rides with a large group for safety purposes.... inararo minsan yun ride nila ng isang delivery van.... patay si tatang... RIP tatang...

Iniimagine ko kung lahat ng deliveries sa negosyo namin eh bike ang gagamitin... lols! luwa na dila ng tagasikad hindi pa nakakarating sa pupuntahan!

badsektor,
Pag malalayo usually nagbi-modal at magaan na folding bike ang dala. 12kg (Mahirap nga lang talaga dito sa pinas kasi ewan ko kung matino na ba PNR)

About naman sa deliveries sa negosyo syempre meron mga bagay na hindi bike ang dapat gamitin.

shadow,
Kung si pnoy nagbike sigurado pasikat lang yun. Magtreadmill na lang sya.

point is just coz you ride a bike doesnt mean you got the solution to the modern world's woes

you buy stuff from a supermarket. how does the stuff get to the supermarket? are the stuff delivered to the supermarket using bicycles?

do you use plastic bags? you buy bottled water? what's the container made of? where does the container go after you throw it away?

your carbon footprint is bigger than you think

you ride a bike. the bike is made in factories abroad. they were shipped here in container vans loaded on container ships. what makes container ships go?

bikes are made of materials that come from...

how do you extract minerals from dirt?

Primarily ang concern ko traffic. Yung carbon footprint important din pero traffic talaga ang concern ko.

Hindi ako mahilig magpicture picture pero nakakita ko ng kagaya ng setup ng bike ko. Ganito ko nadadala mga gamit ko.

Sa picture mukhang magbabakasyon yung may-ari ng bike. Pag nafold yan ang liit pwede dalhin sa lrt/bus.

Galit ka sa mga naka kotse, galit ka sa mga filams na hindi magaling mag tagalog, tapos galit ka rin sa gobierno.

Wala ba actual pic?

i'm sure people sitting in airconditioned cars stuck in traffic know they can avoid traffic by using 2 wheels

you think people who use 4 wheels are clueless?

you think they have never considered what you're doing?

i'm sure they have weighed the pluses and minuses of using 2 wheels and they decide to use 4 wheels parin

in the end, the choice depends on what people think will improve their quality of life (and make them live longer)

just coz you avoid traffic by riding a bike doesnt make you smarter than people who prefer to use cars and get stuck in traffic

oliver,

Hindi ako galit sa kotse. Sa traffic ako naiinis. Masarap kaya magdrive ng kotse pag madaling araw sa antipolo lalo na may isang lugar doon pa downhill kakatuwa.

shadow,
Usually mahilig magpicture yung mga bikers na walang katapusan na upgrade. Bike ko ang nakalagay lang flashlight sa harap, blinking rear light, busina.....yun lang.
