Volunteering is on hold as I have a new bicycle.
I thought I might write a bit about biking around Manila. So far I’ve gone around some villages – Dasmarinas and North Forbes with their wonderfully-easy-on-the-rump smooth asphalt roads, and also Ayala Alabang with it’s less than ideal roads but it’s just so huge. Yesterday a friend and I biked across Makati – San Lorenzo Village to Makati Med and through Legaspi area. Lots of smoke but some pretty clear streets in between busy intersections and having to go down dela Rosa etc. In short, we survived despite our messy dismounts (OK, _my_ messy dismounts) and questionable timing on intersections. Advice – get a bell on your handle bars.
