C6 Taguig Bike Lane Loop

I tried out the bike lane in C6 Taguig - It still needs a lot of improvement, but the lack of choices to a car free road within metro manila makes C6 bike lane popular still. I think newbies wont like it because of the mud and floodwaters. It can be messy for those who has to constantly put down their feet to balance. C6

Galit ka ba pag may Biker sa Labas ng Bike Lane?

Bakit nga ba may nagbabike sa labas ng bike lane? Mali ba to? E bakit may mga taong nagwiwish na masagasaan yung mga bikers na wala sa bike lane? Ito, tama ba to?

Yes we see some bikers disobey traffic rules, and yes that's wrong and is a problem. Pero if you wish someone to die or get hurt because of that, eh that's another problem too.

Ewan ko if may galit sa inyo sa mga nagmomotor (coz I used to hate on them.) Kasi misinformed ako nun, naniniwala ako dati na they cause accidents. But no they dont - just as we cyclists dont cause accidents.

Human errors, faulty vehicles, and hazardous road conditions cause accidents - not bikes (whether inside or outside the bike lane)

Here are the reasons why cyclists bike outside the bike lane, especially in Metro Manila, where bike lanes are an afterthought rather than an actual part of urban planning. Therefore entry points, exit points, safety hazards and other factors weren't well planned and addressed at the moment.

Tragedy of the Commons & Tyranny of Small Decisions in the Philippines

The tragedy of the commons is a situation in a shared-resource system where individual users, acting independently according to their own self-interest, behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoiling the shared resource through their collective action. 

The Tyranny of Small Decisions is a situation in which a number of decisions, individually small and insignificant in size and time perspective, cumulatively result in a larger and significant undesirable outcome

Here are some examples of Tragedy of the Commons and Tyranny of Small Decisions in the Philippines.

BGC Loop For Newbies - Route with Bike Lane

Since there are no group rides, I needed to learn to ride solo even on nearby places for my physical and mental health. So I mapped the bike lanes in BGC, and drew a loop that I can bike on every weekend morning (ideally before 830am, as there seems to be a significant increase in vehicles, humidity, and temperature after that time)

Sanity Check After 5 Months of Quarantine Manila Philippines

This pandemic taught me that we can take in great pains and struggles, as long as we find meaning in it. But meaning is not something out there to be found. You create it. You assign it. You give meaning to what youre going through, and make it precious. 

Warning: Very emotional vlog... 

Sums up all my feels and thoughts this pandemic minus the politics, i had to filter out my thoughts on politics because ATL is real.
