Rizal Philippines
February 21, 2016
We are haunted and disturbed by some news published at FB and RBP about several vehicular accidents:
1. A rider was bumped by speeding vehicle at EDSA Shaw at the underpass and he had twisted knee and legs; he survived though.
2. An accident in Sucat where a rider and his bike were pinned by a closed van vehicle. RIP daw.
3. And recently in Angono, at Mahabang Parang, a newbie rider surnamed Arambulo from Baytown was walking up his bike at steep portion of Mahabang Parang. He was bumped by a speeding Meralco subcontractor (they come from Angono) He was rushed to Rodriguez Medical Center in Marikina city. He died as he suffered massive trauma/hemorrhage at the liver heart and other parts of the body. He, according to the mds had no chance of survival
mga ka RBP, katulad ko, isang newbie biker ang kinakapatid kong si ELjay BRyle ARambulo. nabunggo sya kaninang hapon ng JB truck subcon ng Meralco paahon ng Mahabang Parang Angono Rizal. akay akay na nya paakyat ang kanyang bike ng bungguin sya sa likod ng truck. sa kasawiang palad namatay sya ngayong gabi sa Amang Rodriguez Hospital sa Marikina. ayon sa autopsy report, nadurog daw po ang kanyang atay at nagka hemorrhage ang kanyang puso at baga sa sobrang lakas ng pagkabangga. sana mabigyan natin ng tulong ang kanilang pamilya kahit man lamang sa panalangin. Ride Safe everyone. lagi tayong magtagubilin sa Panginoon sa tuwing tayo ay papadyak. MY CONDOLENCES TO Arambulo FAMILY.
Diyan pa naman ako madalas magpractice ng hill climb.!!!
And then we read that the motorists are critical of the "road sharing" with MV. A motorist asks if we pay the road user tax. No we dont. So what is the quarrel about sharing the road. They are the king of the road. So they wont share this with pedestrian? Ayon kaya ni aywa tumigil sa pedestrian lane
Please support the Bicycle act of 2011 which promotes safety of bicycle rider passed by fmr Senator Manuel Villar (still a bill)

THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN MARGINALIZED FAMILIES
The sheer burden of Anti-Poor Living Conditions in highly urbanized Metro Manila have forced Daily Bicycle Commuters to risk life & limb just to struggle in saving money for basic needs of Food, Shelter, and Education for their families.

THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN MARGINALIZED FAMILIES
The sheer burden of Anti-Poor Living Conditions in highly urbanized Metro Manila have forced Daily Bicycle Commuters to risk life & limb just to struggle in saving money for basic needs of Food, Shelter, and Education for their families.
Some of our fellow cyclists who are mercilessly & meaninglessly killed even remain unclaimed for weeks from Funeral Homes & deprived of honorable burials due to painful financial strain that their families are subjected to. And for generations & years thereafter to come, the PAIN OF LOSING BREADWINNERS continues to haunt the Families of Road Victims & Survivors.
With blessings from their families, we started this campaign in their honor and to all the countless fatalities in Metro Manila who have lost their dreams in an instant.
