My bike ride today October 13, 2013

Real Cyclists

I left late this morning, 7:30.  As I have said, I had reserve interiors repaired by a vulcanizing shops. As usual, I went to the Sacred Heart Church.  However, I stopped at Callahan (near Queen Mary) and the zigzag, and at Namay to take pictures of polluting vehicles.  I posted them at Metro Manila Air Pollution watch  Nothing results from the blogposts but I have to keep on blogging so that somehow, the public sector would take note and act.

I rode up to Tanay and after making a round about, I saw Nolite.  He was biking solo and he said he biked to Jalajala.  He was inquiring if I met the other REcyclists.  I said no.  I caught up with him at the hill between Tanay and Baras.  He was just spinning and I found it hard to keep up.  I said he go ahead because I would have breakfast at Simples.  However by 9: 30 there was no more food left.

I looked for fruits in season and they were gone, just after one week.

At LLDA, I took pics of the waterfalls.  That was about 10: 00 am.  I was home by 11:00  and it was quite warm by that time.

Air pollution and heart diseases - from Metro Manila Air Pollution Watch

Real Cyclists

From Metro Manila Air Pollution watch | April 15, 2013 

Conventional wisdom suggests that air pollution causes that only respiratory diseases like asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema (COPD) are caused air pollution (dirty air)

But there are increasing literature, research, findings that link air pollution and heart diseases (CVD - cardiovascular diseases).

So be careful when biking at highly polluted areas, or when a smoke belcher overtakes you. You could get heart disease.

Why cigarette and even electronic cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health

From AirPollutionKills - air pollution is a silent and deadly killer April 10, 2013

I have bit my tongue to make comments in public to fellow bikers who smoke, and especially those who smoke after biking, or while resting.

But smoking, including electronic cigarette smoking is dangerous to health

And so with inhaling polluted air in MM or from smoke belchers.

Those who care about themselves and their families must read and heed the advice and warning.

Let us join hands with firefly brigade in promoting better health quality in MM
