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.

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

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.
