and no sagging your pants down around your ankles is also not cool ( that trend went out of vogue a couple years back)
and so you know not every black man wears a dew rag and saggs there pants...

I try to remain as pale as possible. I also want to avoid developing skin cancer (a woman I know recently had to have a tumor on her forehead removed that she got from unprotected sun exposure). I am actually waiting for the tan of my arms, the result of forgetting sunblock, to go away...
Ethnically, I think census wise I would be "other".

that is true...
I live in a 95% white community, and the suburb boyz in the hood wear dew rags, and sagg their pants... much to the horror of their affluent/well educated parents.
it seems to be a trend among those who like to portray an *urban chic*
sort of like white kids with cornrows.... i love it!

Perhaps.
If I moved to say Makati, where I would be able to find work, how many group rides do you think I would be able to find in any week? I didn't think I would find any, maybe one if I was lucky; on subpar conditions in terms of surface, traffic, pollution, and safety for me and my girl.
I was just thinking it was too inconvenient to even try, but what do I know—I was a sheltered 12-year-old when I left and only come back once every 4 years.
Thanks for the pics. The ones of the crit were really interesting.
Addendum—nismo, how many races are available in Metro Manila in a season? I'm assuming the summer is the off-season?
Addendum—I know there has been a rise in the Philippine middle-class since I left, hence a change in lifestyle and culture. So I really could be wrong... but I was imagining being the assmunch riding around in a 6k dollar bike through Quiapo. It's just a different culture.

If you need to find out more check out Philippine Cycling Network .. they have a yahoo group where you could find more info. and about 6K bikes if you check some of the pictures they have that kind a bike also - even mt. bikes.

No Talent Assclown
That reminds me of a friend from Nigeria. He is so dark that in pictures that have any darkness at all, you just see his teeth.

You may have missed my point—I think it's just wrong to flaunt such an expensive bike in a city that has so much poverty—the likes of which we don't even see here in the states. That's why I think it's a completely different culture.
But I am glad that they do have races there. Sorry if I sounded like an elitist Filipino racer who's bike is too good for EDSA avenue.
Anyway—let's give the OP back his thread. or start a Pinoy racing thread. or both.

Relax, Im just kidding you for you obviously missed the point of my post and that is that blacks can certainly cycle all that wanted if so inclined and had the money and interest to do so,whether from the city or suburbs.. Ciao.

Mom's white.
Dad's black.
I wear sunscreen.
I am darker than my black wife who is actually yellow.
She wears sunblock, but doesn't cycle.
I also own and race a mountain bike, so I'm not a pure roadie.
My mountain bike doesn't wear sunscreen.
I think that covers everything. By the way, my aunt always jokes than I am halfrican.

I'm Vietnamese so I guess I'm supposed to be yellow. But my arm looks more dark tan-brown than anything. I am also covered in much more hair than that of a standard asian man. I have more hair than some of my white friends. My GF is White. I've been told I'm somewhat of banana or twinkie... yellow on the outside white on the inside. I burn sometimes but not often. What was the question again?

I know a Chinese man, ex-teammate actually who's doing (racing) real well this year, who just doesn't grow facial hair. He doesn't need to shave at all. Lucky *******.
