Greenhills Bicycle Parking – Little Baguio – Kamias Bike Lanes – Commonwealth Motorcycle Lanes – UP Bike Lanes

With the recent ‘motorcycle lanes” news, don’t you feel a little tricked?

Wow…we’re still waiting for real good news about true pedestrian and bicycle pathways?

Let’s give those not so innocent bystanders and erring motorists an early halloween scare…

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!

The Firefly Brigade 3rd Sunday Critical Mass Rides (CMR) aim to help create awareness for bicyclist’s rights on the road. Firefly organizes the CMRs to create bicyclist presence on the road so that motorists recognize us as part of traffic.

Bicycling is a form of non-motorized transportation (NMT) and is a great tool to combat climate change and promote environmental awareness.

The monthly CMRs are usually free of charge and are great venues for meeting other bike commuters, recreational riders and those just starting to ride the streets of the Metro.

NO HELMET, NO RIDE!
THIS IS A LEISURELY CAMARADERIE RIDE NOT A RACE.
