Love at first padyak




After being made envious by weekend bikers back home in Antipolo and was inspired by cyclists at the recent SCTEx 94K Weekend, I finally clinched a step closer to a healthier me with less carbon footprint by taking this bike (yey bike!) into my custody.

It's a second-hand piece of metal contraption salvaged from a friend's bodega. Though it is scabbed with rust, tires gone flat, the front brake isn't working, and bears other signs of wear ang tear (See the water bottle? It's brittle na rin.), a little help will bring this rickety thing back to life.

It's love at first padyak. It may take some time to upgrade my bike (yey bike!) considering I'm living on a dormer's budget. But then, if one desires to reach Point B from Point A, one has to work on it one padyak at a time.

WAY TO GO!

LOOK FOR MY COLLEAGUE'S PHOTO SOMEWHERE IN MY XVD-CONTACT'S SITE. HE IS A COMMITTED (DOCTORATE) BIKER WHO IS INTO IT FOR THE PHILOSOPHY (DOCTORATE) OF IT ALL: CARBON-FOOTPRINT-REDUCTION-CUM EXERCISE. MLA-TAGAYTAY-MLA IN ONE MORNING! EARLY, LIKE DAWN. FOR ORGANIC BARAKO BREAKFAST IN SILANG AND A NOSTALGIC VISIT DOWN SVD ROAD. THEN ON TO THE PALACE IN THE SKY TO FURTHER REMINISCE - ON HISTORY. AND LIFE...

YOU TWO SHOULD CONNECT. ADDITIONAL CLUES FOR FINDING HIM: U.P. / MON FERNAN / FIREFLIES?

HAPPY HUNTING....
