Here’s the schedule of events for November 8, 2009
10am – gathering of folding bikes at Cubao Araneta Station, brief program.
1030-11am Folding bikers ride LRT to Legarda Station
11-1130am – Get down Legarda station and bike to Rizal Park!
Those who want to join on whole bikes you’d have to meet us at the Legarda station and sabay na lang to Rizal Park…. kain Binondo after?
Thanks for the update Sir Jojo!
another update…
20″ wheel folding bikes will be allowed. We thought only 16″ was the workable size but when we did the test run a 20″ bike was fine.
