marikina city: a bikable city

it was only twenty years ago when i was trying to learn to ride my first bike. during that time, it was quite hard to learn it. the roads were either too narrow, too muddy, or too rough, it wasn't safe, and there were motor vehicles everywhere.

just recently, i realized that our city isn't like that anymore. because now, we can freely run, play, and ride our bikes right along the river. sidewalks were cleared and bicycle lanes were alloted to most streets in marikina. fifty-two kilometers of bikeways were constructed within the city to date.
