Bikers now a political force - one out five households own bikers

Wheels of Happiness





A former senator did not get reelected because he offended several million MC riders who were offended by law he passed regarding additional plates for MC.

But now, the bikers who were given bike lanes and being criticized for such a privilege have been increasing in number   1 out of five households own bikes as per survey of SWS:  The bikers are more numerous than car owners;   there are more bikers than there are MC owners in MM.  

Motor vehicle owners MC and autos should be aware of this number as they continue to abuse bike riders

  This is the result of the survey:

The survey found that 29 percent of Filipino households (an estimated 7.3 million) were using bicycles — 23 percent owned the bicycles while 6 percent used borrowed bicycles. Bicycles were being used for essential (21 percent) and recreational purposes (18 percent). Nationwide, households that owned bicycles outnumbered the 6 percent of those with cars by a ratio of 4:1.

The popularity of bicycles was even more pronounced in the National Capital Region (NCR), where 32 percent of households owned bicycles compared to the 6 percent that owned cars — a ratio of 5:1. It is noteworthy that bicycles are the most commonly owned vehicle in the NCR (motorcycles, the second most popular vehicle in the region, are owned by 25 percent of households).
