Rode a bus to La Union; bus passed by Dau Public Market, recalled accident on the way to Baguio ride

Wheels of Happiness

This post went to La Union on business trip  via bus and surprise the bus after stopping at Dau terminal, went through MacArthur highway and this post recalled the accident I had several years back on the way to Baguio City ride.   An MC which was unregistered driven by a youngster without license slammed into the right side  (illegally overtaking from the right) of the bike, a Pinarello Dogma with a Bora wheelset,  hitting the carbon wheelset.    I and my bike scattered along the highway.  Unfortunately the justice palakasan system freed the youngster who caused the accident.    Despite the fact that the Public Officer were threatened by a Mun Council Sec who was with us, a lawyer.

Fortunately for me, I was able to continue on the damaged bike.  But eventually my bike wheelset gave way and had to be replaced.  

I now fear long trips due to this incident.
