Marauder in MLQuezon Ave in Mahabang Parang, the new but distant bikeshop in town

Wheels of Happinesse

Antipolo City, Philippines |   April 27, 2014

                                  It is besides 711 and a massage shop

After seeing off Engr June fetched by his son (he could not bike anymore up to Teresa because of cramps,) we climbed Teresa of course and rested at China Bank.  After a hard climb, Joel pala and Master rest and just sit at that spot in front of China bank.  We decided to go to the new bike shop which he said is owned by an American, about  one km from Lores.

And so we went there.  We had to make some inquiries and the car wash boys said that it is near 711 and past Crown Asia.  So two hills after we were there:

About Marauder:




1.  It must have been named after a Marauder frame;

2.  It deals mostly on MTBs

3.  There are food and bike wear available.

4.  It is a little bit pricey

5.  They accept credit cards.

We met there two groups of guys:  



                                          Marauder is closed on Monday

One brothers who are from Maia alta Antipolo city.  It was his first time to go road bike after MTB for long

Then another group of cyclists from San Juan who do the Angono Mahabang Parang, and does a lot of advocacy on bike share and bike lanes in Marikina.  The guy I talked to was Rod about 50sh an Industrial Engineer from MIT.    He said he biked since  1978.  I said I am on my 4th year and its only for therapeutic reason, ie to get rid of arthritis, BS and cholesterol.  He said likewise.   We exhanged CPs and informed him of this site

We left the store at about 12.
