Rode a bus to La Union; bus passed by Dau Public Market, recalled accident on the way to Baguio ride

Wheels of Happiness









This post went to La Union on business trip  via bus and surprise the bus after stopping at Dau terminal, went through MacArthur highway and this post recalled the accident I had several years back on the way to Baguio City ride.   An MC which was unregistered driven by a youngster without license slammed into the right side  (illegally overtaking from the right) of the bike, a Pinarello Dogma with a Bora wheelset,  hitting the carbon wheelset.    I and my bike scattered along the highway.  Unfortunately the justice palakasan system freed the youngster who caused the accident.    Despite the fact that the Public Officer were threatened by a Mun Council Sec who was with us, a lawyer.

Fortunately for me, I was able to continue on the damaged bike.  But eventually my bike wheelset gave way and had to be replaced.  

I now fear long trips due to this incident.




Buying a bike for apo

Wheels of Happiness







Its good that the apo (granddaughter) is taking interest in biking .  She test drove a bike at Decathlon (as their residence is nearby) but it cost P8,000.  At Villamayor the price is half.   I checked again this morning and they have bikes costing P3,300 to P3,800.   We are finalizing the deal tomorrow.








Climbed antenna today (was unable to bike for one whole week when BP went after climbing DOMSA

Wheels of Happiness




My BP has been acting wildly - the systolic reading goes up but the diastolic is steady.   Yesterday it was 121/82 and that meant it was safe to ride  I rode antenna today, initially planning to be only up at Aida St. But ended just before Marian.    

Still capable.  Yakang yaka pa.
