Dress up in your favorite goulish, horrific costumes for a fun, sunday morning ride through San Juan and Quezon City.

We’re going to take a short, satirical pictorial at a local cemetery.

We’ll ride via token MMDA Bike Lanes (actually a parking lot now) in Kamias.

We’ll also check out the mighty motorcycle lanes along commonwealth.

To give us a little hope, we’ll end at the wholesome and inspiring UP Bike Lanes.

All tricksters in horror-theme costumes (dress your bikes, too!) get a halloween treat!

Bring candies to give away as treats to traffic enforcers and kids along our route.

We may feel alittle tricked out, but it does not mean we’ll have to lose our composure and goodwill!

Weee……. trick or treat! Trick or Treat!
