Bike to Work

[remzam]

Average mo 30 kph sa bike? Bilis ah. [emoji41]

On long XC routes I only average around 20 kph, mabilis na 25 kph. XC MTB pa yun with 10-speed SLX and not a fixie.

He specifically mentioned 15 km distance (QC to Makati) in 30 minutes. Last paragraph of the post.

Ohhh that. . . Ups. . . Sorry. . . Though an average of 30kph for 15kms is very doable on slick tired bikes. . . Longer would than that . . .. hmmmm

Very doable sir. Specially if you know the routes na di ma trapik at ma kotse. From Makati to QC via StaMesa-San Juan-New Manila.

Qc to makati is at least 2 hours.

Salute po!

Haha

When I had Saturday duties pa before, I bike commute every sat. 40km one way to Makati. It will usually take me two hours to office. We have bike parking with guard and also shower rooms at the office. So I can take a shower pagdating sa office. Ngayon weekday duty na so i car/mc commute daily. Fixie at Minivelo gamit ko dati.

As for safety, you need to be smart using our roads. Hindi pagalingan sa pag bike ang labanan. Dapat marunong ka bumasa ng sasakyan at drivers. Kasi hindi tayo katulad ng Norway or other bike-friendly countries na may priority ang pedestrians > bikers > mc riders > car drivers > truck drivers. Pedestrian lane nga balewala sa atin. Marami na nasagasaan while using pedestrian lanes.

Kay TS, saludo ako sayo. I still dream of a city where people use their bikes instead of cars to lessen traffic and pollution. Metro Manila is a very bikeable city. But not biker friendly. Bikeable since QC to Makati is just arou d 15km++. 30min bike ride lang yun. Petiks ride pa yun hindi pang triathlon. Compare that to riding a car. Makati to QC is at least one hour.

Grabe na ser no? Nung bike commute ako, ang car qc Makati and vice versa one hour. Ngayon two hours na.

More so na dapat may support from the government for a bike-friendly metro. Marikina lang medyo matino. Kaso a few years back, may nanay nasagasaan ng truck while riding her bike... Sa bike lane.

Yung QC may bike lane nga pero siningit lang sa kalsada. Masabi lang may bike lane. Pero pag nag bike lane ka mas delikado ka pa sa mga jeep at kotse. Shared lane sa 4 wheels.

Really if you just live within the metro, bikeable sya. Wag lang siguro Parañaque to Valenzuela

I bike every other day to work on a folding bike for 20km one way.

Takes me 45 minutes to 1 hour to do one way.

With my car, it takes me about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.

I take the back roads as much as possible to avoid as much car made pollution as I can. But then again, riding a jeepney or an ordinary bus will expose you to the same pollution.

Lets discuss!

Importante safety gears. Helmet,lights, reflector. Iwas sa mga jeep na bigla pepreno at titigil sa gitna para mag sakay at baba. Iwas rin sa taxi na nagbabasa ng pasahero. Walang tingin tingin pasahero,basta bukas pinto.

Pag trapik at di kasya bike,buhat hanggang maluwag na gap.

I noticed that most bike friendly cities are in temperate regions - hottest being Spain but still a temperate climate. No tropical cities on the list.

I tried biking to work before. Super hassle. Nowhere as convenient as with a car. Aside from the travel, you have to consider shower arrangements. Magbibihis pa.

Both the climate and the infrastructure aren't bike-friendly.

I used to be an avid biker before...my concern was the lack of respect drivers have on us....cant count how many time we times expletives where exchanged...one time we called squatters and other choice words by this indivudual..my friend pulled down his face cover and removed his rudy project..green eyes...ayun nosebleed sila..here in the PI..riding a bike to work is looked down upon..

Yes, i (we) bike to work every friday, madami kami bikers sa office, & naging habit na pag friday mag bike kami.

medyo binubully nga ang mga bike sa kalsada natin

[Vodka]

philippines kasi walang courtesy. basically it's darwinism in the streets bus/truck drivers simply expect you to move away even if you're a car. bikes are the lowest in the pecking order

pollution is already bad. now the gov't wants to import euro-2 diesel

[dr. d]

courtesy and disrespect cut both ways.

there was this old story about a young-ish female parishioner, who complained to the parish Priest that she noticed that one of the younger Priests was "looking at her often". the Parish Priest replied, "are you sure he isn't just returning your looking at him often?"

Take the lane and ride in formation (two columns). Safest group riding tactic I know of.

Bike lanes, or the governments idea of it, will get riders killed.

Imbes na hindi ka gigitin, magitgit ka kasi the bike lanes are at the secondary position (blind spot position).

If the road can't accomodate a full protected lane, then don't place a bike lane there.

Problem is, so many riders are afraid to take the lane (highest visibility position).

Re: side mirrors.

Side mirrors will get you killed. You need full depth and speed perception to guage whether you should change lanes.

Just look back before you change lanes. If you can't (impossible), then twist your body a bit THEN look back.

Just be sure to do it quickly, and that no cars are ahead and nearby.
