bisikleta to work -feasible?

I have yet another crazy idea: I want to go to work by bike, as in bisikleta/de pajak! haha! that would be a good exercise (while I'd be able to save P65 per day!). It's not practical for now though coz my gym payment is good until summer next year. if I buy a bike now, I'm sure I won't need further workout other than cycling, sayang naman gym!

Though really, it's not THAT crazy -my office's relatively near, less than 10km from house I guess (30 minutes by 1 trike and 2 jeeps). If I go to work by bike then that would mean cycling for an hour or even less. same as in cycling class, right!? and generally, muntinlupa's not chaotic as roads, sidewalks and street lights have been improved by mayor ASP. in fact I see a lot now who go to and from work by bike. specifically, Madrigal-Alabang is not that urban, not so polluted and less dense unlike other business districts in Metro Manila. also, I don't have to worry about the parking as there are slots here for motorcycles and bicycles, for free!

I wish it's summer already so I could think about this option again :) haha!

Mmm dito madami nagbbike sa work. Pero mas OK dahil meron talagang bike lane and people follow traffic rules (so you don't have to worry na mabubundol ka or what). Parang mas nakakatakot dyan dahil sa quality ng roads, traffic, tsaka pollution. I dunno :P

@mela - yeah true, mas biker/pedestrian friendly jan compared here (plus mas mainit dito, yun din pinoproblema ko, for sure pawisan ako pagdating sa work haha)

but, we'll see, I could try it once then if I don't like it, I'll stick within the village. hehe.

ay ay ay ano kaya, dry run from my house to your house!??! haha!

I ride a bike to school! Once, nag bike ako para mag grocery shopping kasi sira car ko. Doable naman sya since may basket yung bike ko. Pero yung mga binili ko as in pa-tingi tingi. hahaha!

Siguro kung magbibike ka dyan, agahan mo na lang alis mo para di masyado mainit at di ka pawisan pag dating sa office! And yeah, pwede yan from your house to Mela's!

@bianx - yeah yun din sabi ng officemate ko "agahan mo alis para di ka sunburned at pawis, para din may oras ka pa mag punas punas ng tubig at alcohol sa cr" hahaha!
