We see lesser and lesser cyclists on the road lately. Due to the following:
1. Very hot weather. 40 C is common at 10:00 up to 4:00 pm. Such hot conditions are dangerous to health and can cause strokes which can be lethal;
2. Unsafe riding practices by motorized counterpart - overtaking from the right, over speeding even in busy streets,
3. No more safety provided by bike lanes, which are in reality sharrows;
4. Expensive parts and repairs. (However, we see softening of prices for inventories that have not been bought.
6 And lately crimes vs bikers in isolated places. There are still many brigands (NPA, thieves robbers) in isolated areas. One news took place at Sitio Labahan in Angono. This happens despite huge salaries and huge number of PNP personnel.
To protect yourself, to minimize danger, then you minimize bike outings.
