Safe Riding – Anyone?

Marcos Highway looks like a dangerous place to bike.  Motorbikes are more numerous here and travel faster. Right in front of the place where we had breakfast somebody rode at more than say 100 km and willied.  He could have had a head on collision with an incoming jeepney.  He avoided just in time.  And some 300  meters away, a motorbike rammed into a stationary jeepney.

We had always wished that our faster kin take safe driving seriously.  A weekend should be a time for a pleasant ride.  Not for an accident or tragedy.

But we see them:  riding very fast, overtaking from the wrong side or too close, not wearing helmets, eating our lanes. etc. Unsafe….

                       This is the Motorbike that Rammed the Jeep; Look at the Wires that Hold the Fender

                       There is a Big Tarp that Preaches Safety from MDPPA, but who cares and listens?

I do not know who will spread the gospel of safety among our brods who ride motor bikes?  Those who died early?

Kabayan Kept Most Bikers at Home Yesterday

A lot of bikers were at home yesterday because of continuous rain spawned by typhoon kabayan. The weather has not been coopertive lately. Only Master Edwin rode yesterday.

It is slippery, dangerous, and wet when it rains. It is also bad for the bike espcially for the axles, headposts, and the bottom bracket.

I hope the weather clears up today. It has been raining since last week.
