Tissue Please!

I don't have a bike. Dropped the idea of buying at least for now, when I learned that the price of a brand new (even decent second-hand) bike actually costs much more than my 2nd hand car.

But I do know how to ride one. Malakas daw ang loob ko, sabi ng tatay ko. I learned to bike when I was still in pre-school. And this is without the aid of trainers. At an early age I learned what to do and what not to do when biking. Road etiquette? Syempre naman...

1. Stay in your lane.
2. Don't compete with cars.
3. Keep right.
4. Signal when changing lanes.
5. Never do sudden stops.
and the list goes on and on and on...

How about blowing your nose while biking? Well, I'd probably slow down and go to the sides to do my business. Same goes to blowing your nose while running, just that I look at my back, then left & right, when clear, then I do my business.

But how about blowing your nose while doing a 30k Bike Criterium Race? It's either I slow down a bit and go back of the pack, then do my business. Or better yet, go to the sides and aim at unknowing bystanders. Just like what this guy did.

nakataas na ang kanang-kamay at naghahanda na suminga!

I was at the corner of 7th & 26th ave at the BGC area with my team mates to watch and take pictures of the criterium event. I saw this biker suddenly making his way to the sides. I aimed my camera and took the shot. Then I heard him blow his nose in front of us.

Huli ka!!!

Sabi ng tatay ko... "Sa iyo ang bike... pero di mo pag-a-ari ang kalsada"

Sa haba ng kalsada na walang tao sa tabi, dun mo pa napiling suminga? Ayos!
