Today's bike shenanigans:
- Riding ~20KMs to upgrade my water carrying capacity
- Finding the bike lane blocked by a police vehicle
- Last minute joining a night ride organized by my Local Bike Shop for another ~20KMs
I really enjoy that my local bike shop (Tambay Cycling Hub) has a mission that is focused on commuters and public policy. The theme of the night ride was on public spaces and the lack of them in Metro Manila. We went around to plazas and parks, and I was surprised by places that were so near me that I never knew how to access, let alone on a bike.
The night ride also featured most of the riders using the Lumos smart cycling helmet which has a very neat trick for group rides that let the lights of the whole group blink in synchronization. It was very satisfying to watch.
