Bike, safety and grace

There is nothing more comforting, gratifying, pleasurable than seeing a woman on a bicycle. 

Women and children are indicator species on the road. One does not need 100-paged safety audit reports to know how safe one's city roads are. One simply needs to look at the number of women and children on the road on their bicycles to do basic, simple, regular stuffs like going to work, school or shopping--or going on picnic with friends! The number of women ditching personal cars for bicycling or walking for errands and socializing is a good enough indicator for the level of safety of the city's roads. 

Add to that, bicycling in the chic-est way possible!

the magical moment on take off...

...on constant pedalling

...and graceful turning.



such a lovely thing! this functional biking!

picnics

There's nothing more normal and fun than biking to picnic with your friends and their families.

the Central Philippine University (CPU) has a lovely field that's open to the public and is never restricted to bikes.
on weekends throngs of people from the neighborhood come here for fresh air and quality time with their family and friends.

children and bicycles

the quality of life of a city should be measured by the number of children who can bike safely  on its streets; to and from the house, school, football practice, playdates, picnics, birthday parties, family days, library visits,museum visits, beach, so on and so forth.

cycling is not a special event. it is as normal as walking, as seeing a child ride her bike to school.
