Feb 27, 2011 - "K.K.K. REVOLUTION 2011 : We Want Bike Lanes Now"
With the overpopulation of roads in the metro, especially reigned by gas-guzzling vehicles. We the pedestrians as well as us cyclists are being pushed aside from using our public roads. And with result are numerous accidents such as sideswipes and crashes just to name a few.
I myself experienced sideswipes during my daily commutes to work and to the local trails, and most of these are caused by reckless automobile drivers and motorcyclists.
And to solve one of these problems are implementing "Bike Lanes".
Marikina and Davao already done it... why not make it metro wide, or country wide. If not, we can start small... one by one.
Let us unite and be heard. Let us join tomorrow's event. Wear and strap your helmets, and take out and ride your bike, and let the public know of our presence.

With the least chance of me getting on the saddle tomorrow (especially leading the UST Gruppo Tomasino, and riding along Team Ageless Warriors)... I'm supporting the event with any chance possible. And with that, I volunteered to be an Event Photographer for the said event.
