    I ride to commute, to exercise, to go on long rides. As much as possible I’d like to bike instead of drive, unless I really need to use the car. Cycling has become a part of my daily life and a hobby as well, which sometimes draws funny looks from people who don’t really bike. 😅 “Really you just ride your bike x amount kilometers? That’s so far away.” (Probably just 5km 😬)

    i feel called out by the "budol culture" lol but i appreciate the reminder! all of us as cyclists started from somewhere. i used to be happy with a 10 kilometer ride to the market. then a 20-kilometer ride to the city district. then the 50-km ride na may ahon where i saw spots. i got better and better, and it was the gradual stretching of the limits that brought me to where i am now.
    but we need to remember our roots. and pass on that experience forward so we can welcome them into the community with our open, unevenly tanned arms.

      hahaha thanks for sharing! To be fair, some people respond well to budol culture. But for more and more people to get into cycling, it's something I personally try to avoid. Although I'm sure I've brought people to some really really tough rides before. haha

    Currently living in the UK and although its cycling infrastructure is not as good as the Netherlands or Denmark, its good enough for most people who cycle at the moment to work, school and even grocery shopping. By complimenting that with public transport and walkable towns, I managed to stay car free til now and probably remain that way for the foreseeable future. Also, the argument about bikes being expensive is ridiculous since
    1) most Dutch cyclists are commuters and not sports hobbyist who own cheap single speed (or 3-speed) beater bikes. Filipinos can easily get a decent bike from one of those Japanese Surplus shops.
    2) the cost of car ownership is far more expensive compared to a bike that it significantly decreases a person's disposable income and at worst even bankruptcy, not mentioning other externalities with car centric transportation like the ones you mentioned.

      @@carlovillarica a viable cycling infrastructure combined with great public transit system will free us from the hassle of car ownership and help us save a ton of money. It's also one of the cheapest infrastructure the gov't can spend on (along with pedestrian lanes of course) that it just make sense to build them ASAP.

      @carlovillarica  5 месяцев назад +1

      i currently use a coospo, but I will likely change it soon bec it doesn't have any navigation features. IF all you need is to keep track of the rides, then there are a ton of cheap options available.

    Being sedentary is more dangerous than going out there cycling. I'd rather be with my cycling friends and have a good time while getting a good workout. Don't mind these people who say your sport is dangerous. There's a certain risk in any activity. However it becomes safer when you know how to deal with it. I both cycle to work and cycle for leisure. It's a means of transport as well as exercise. Couch potatoes who feel that that they're safe at home don't know the fact that inactivity can lead to a whole lot of health problems. Cheers!

    But to be fair, I get the comment about PH being too hot to cycle. I think that comes from people who maybe considered biking to work and not really for leisure.
    It's kinda true. I am both a leisure cyclist and a bike-to-work cyclist. My route to work is from Marikina to Makati, around 19 kms one way. Even if I leave the house at 5:30 AM, i still sweat quite a bit. Just sucks that my office doesnt really have the infrastructure to encourage cycling to work. We have no showers, etc.

    • @carlovillarica
      @carlovillarica  5 месяцев назад

      that's true. I forgot to think about it from a commuter's perspective. IT can be hot. Hopefully in the future, there will be more and more infrastructure to make it more comfortable. Like trees, shade, parking, etc.

    Is it fair to distinguish "cyclists", those who have road/gravel bikes and wear those tight cycling clothes, with commuters who bike?
