Bike For Life, September 1, 2013

Yesterday was my 3^rd time to attend the Bike For Life – a project of former Mayor Bobby Eusebio. It was a fun bike of more than 40 kilometers from Emerald Avenue to UP Diliman, up to Marikina, Pateros and has a finish line in front of the Pasig City Hall. It’s a great way to start the month of September.

I was busy taking pictures of my fellow bikers from Pinagbuhatan so I wasn’t able to take pictures of the other participants in this monthly event. I was also astonished by the uniform of the bikers from Kalawaan, Pasig City – it’s very visible! After the fun bike ride, there is the usual raffle of bike bells and sunglasses. Everyone had sandwiches and bananas as “agahan” after the event.

The next Bike For Life will be on October 6, 2013 and will start at Tiendesitas, Pasig City. See you there!

Bike for Life, August 11, 2013

In spite of the politics behind the Bike for Life, I still attended it yesterday together with my biker’s club. It’s the 2^nd time that I attended the Bike for Life and the first time to attend it with my biker’s club. Biking is indeed more fun, if done with other biking enthusiasts.

The August 11 Bike for Life started at Emerald Avenue, Ortigas Center. The route went to places like C5 Taguig, Katipunan Avenue (Quezon City), Marikina, East Bank Road, all the way to the finish line near the Santa Clara de Montefalco Parish Church, Caniogan, Pasig City. Yesterday’s Bike for Life is almost 40 kilometers.

There was a change in the rules of the Bike for Life. Instead of the Raffle Stub being given at the finish line, it is now being given halfway along the route to avoid bikers who are making shortcuts to the finish line. They also gave water (from a jug) at the half way mark yesterday, which is good.

At the finish line, we were given pansit, bread, banana and bottled water (that is still stamped with the name of Mayor Maribel A. Eusebio). There was a raffle to end the August 11 Bike for Life and one of my fellow biker from my biker’s club won a biking gear. The grand prize for yesterday’s Bike for Life was an Android Tablet, courtesy of the councilors of the Pasig City Government.

The Bike for Life Organizers are emphasizing that this event is a personal project of former mayor, Bobby Eusebio, who is now fondly called Kuya Bobby. The next schedule of Bike for Life would be on August 25, 2013 and the Start Line would still be at the Emerald Avenue, Ortigas Center.
