Those car bike, MC accidents of loss of bike lanes pour cold water in cyclists enthusiasm, make them afraid

Wheels of Happiness

The publication of many pictures of accidents involving bikes and motor vehcles sow fear into the hearts of cyclists. Furthermore, the safety that used to be provided by bike lanes is gone;  most of them have become sharrows.  (Shared ROWs)

Even pros die from motor vehicle accidents.  And there are deaths in MV accidents where the passengers are protected by metals, how much more if it is between an all metal MV and a biker?  That is fear inspiring.

Ride safe friends, kapadyaks.

Voted early did an antenna ride and met brother in law of real estate tycoon in the town

Wheels of Happiness

This post took advantage of the early voting for Seniors and after coffee, went up Antenna.  The last time I was there was on Maundy Thursday when there was ruckus for a fee for entering the vicinity.  There was none.  A portion of the road going up was under repair and had sand overlay which made pedalling up slippery.   Was I glad that going up was not that difficult.   There was a momentary tukod at the portion 20 per cent incline where I avoided another bike going downhilll at my lane.  Could not get on the bike again so I walked the final 20 meters of the incline.

At the summit, I was given free noodles by two bikers one of whom turned out to be companion for a property tripping at Calaca.  Mr. Ferdie Baracoro.  He is also the brother in law of top real estate tycoon in Angono.  Owner of the Jollibee commercial complex, an ice plant in their 40 hectare property near Laguna Lake.
