reminds me of my childhood days... thanks for uploading these nice pictures mang boy.. god bless

Great photos. I'd be too scared to ride in Manila.

Yes you're right there. We don't have bicycle lanes here and riding solo needs skill. That's why we organize
rides. This way we are in one big batch of riders and motor vehicles gives extra respect on the group.
We have motorcycle escort everytime we make the run and a mechanic to assist on any bicycle trouble.
Anyway, most motorists are amused everytime they see us specially with all the blinking LEDS they seee
on our bikes and the great number of cyclists riding with us.

My first question would be "why are all those trikes missing their sidecars?" ;)

WOW really nice thread. very interesting bikes

Night Cruise - Mar. 27, 2010
 

Last night cruise was participated by 26 cyclists. Graduation rites cause the non attendance of other cyclists.
New faces showed up for the ride. Not in the picture is Mang Boy who took the shots.

great pics mang boy. wish i could join your regular night cruise. "tubong-malabon po ako" but i'm now residing in cainta. we bought our first jitenshas in 2004 - we're actually the first ones (me and my wife) who had japanese surplus bikes in our village. we now own 5 jitenshas (the last 2 were folding bikes which i acquired only last week). i just want to share these pics - the blue one is a panasonic light wing , i still don't know the brand/make of the other one - maybe you or someone could help me...

Sorry I can't open the attachments. Try to edit, Go Advanced, and then Manage Attachments.

Looks like fun!

One of the things I still miss, is the nice warm nights, while I was in Vietnam - a long time ago.....

Oh, and the pretty girls, of course........ LOL (we need more pictures of pretty girls - on bikes, of course.....)

Holy Week
 

Holy Week just started this week, so cruise on Saturday is cancelled. But on Thursday a group will
be making a ride (Bisita Iglesia) visiting 14 churches in Metro Manila. Assembly is at Vic's shop in Gov.
Pascual Ave., Malabon City.

Featured Cyclist - Mang Ole
 

Featured Cylist is Mang Ole.
He's 74 yrs. old and very active in joining rides. We call him "Tatang" for respect of his age.
Bicycling had improved his health since his stroke.
A happy and enjoyable company during rides or gatherings. He simply can stay with the pack with his
good health.

Gaspar simply eyes Mang Ole's white socks just in case back-up power is needed.

where in metro manila can i get a nice panasonic bike like yours evan gabe ?
 

hello evan gabe and mang boy !

Thanks Mang Boy for meeting up with me at the Adriatico Circle 2 months ago and for showing me around your town. I truly am grateful.

Evan Gabe, nice panasonic folding. where can i get one in metro manila ?

nice pictures. i wish i can meet up with you guys again ! thanks Mang Boy for showing me around Malabon ! Good Cooks there and Malabon people have a passion for bikes and good fresh food. The only place in the Philippines I know of where this bike passion really shows . Even the pedicabs are chromed and have large diameter wheels. I look forward to visiting again next year perhaps. i have told my buddies about Malabon food and bikes ! Something to be proud of !

kinds regards

The 2 bikes are commonly seen here in Malabon. Just a month ago my brother sold a few pieces of those
type of bikes both alloy and steel. Lucky, you got a branded one. The white one is a common design
frame you see around here. So far I haven't owned an alloy folding bike. It's perhaps the frame design that I always look for. Most alloy frames have simple frame design. Anyway the bikes you got there are pretty
neat except the white one wherein the tires don't match.

Saturday Night Ride
 

Saturday, April 10 will be the Night Cruise of the group in Paez St.
Assembly at 6:00 PM.

miyata super alumi
 

thanks for your reply mang boy. i must admit that the white folding bike is of a common frame design. and i still have to find matching tires for it :). just want to share the pic of my newest bike, er, my wife's - a miyata super alumi model size 24" that i brought from dampalit, malabon last saturday - here it is -

New Bicycle (Good for 3 days only)
 

I just brought home yesterday a new bicycle. I attended a children's party and guess what the balloon
artist just happened to show me this particular piece. I can't resist the attraction so I ask him if he could spare that piece to me. He gladly gave the balloon and here is the picrture. The balloon is good only for a limited time. This morning one of the tires deflated already.
