Last Friday, on our way to Ulm…while flipping Auto Bild magazine, I found a picture which looks so familiar to me. The image was featured under Leserfoto ((reader’s photograph)) column. Underneath was written “Please count: One (!) bicycle with twelve (!) passengers discovered by our reader Dennis Schoof in Manila (Philippines)”.
I want to ride a bicycle…I want to ride a bike.
I can imagine how amused the photographer was as he saw it. O siguro laking mangha niya nang makita niya ito dahil walang ganyang sasakyan dito sa Germany. It can’t be possible too dahil hindi ito lulusot sa TÜV (Technische Überwachungs Verein) ((Technical Monitoring Association)).
Hehehe, hindi lang nila alam tayong mga Pilipino ay super innovative in different fields. But let us stick to the topic “vehicle innovation”.
What about this one here? Well I think the image below is very common to us. Yon bang may isa o dalawang taong aangkas sa motorsiklo. But you know, in the most outback part of Butuan or maybe some parts of other provinces, where jeepneys only travel once a day…a single motorbike as public transportation is a hit for locals and day-trippers.
Get your motor runnin’ head out on the highway, lookin’ for adventure, and whatever comes our way…
Last but not least, this is something you might have not seen yet. A skylab. Or sky love? I am not really sure of the name, but what the heck. I saw this one on our way to Butuan City last May 2008. I was wondering how passengers got on to it.
The driver needs or requires great balancing act. Di ba? Haven’t experienced riding a vehicle such as this one yet. But I think I’d rather walk than catch a ride on a Skylab. Not because I am maarte, pero natatakot ako na baka ito ay bumalintong. Paano nalang ang aking high heel shoes (charing), my false eyelashes, my whatevah? Ay basta’t akoy maglalakad nalang.
O, anong say niyo sa mga sasakyan sa probinsiya???
Ang worst pa,wa ra bay mga helmit Very daring haha alegre,this is one of the topic that hubby & I recently discussed re: safety. Kahibaw naka sa mga alimango, di bale na they spend 100% more basta safety importante.Ambot lang sad kay mura man ug dili tanan kay naa ra man guihapon mamalit ug 2nd hand car,bike seat.
have a great week ahead mamuah! email kita in mins…;)

I think Odd and I saw a motorcycle with almost 8 passengers when we were in Bohol. He was definitely amazed and at the same time shocked since it’s prone to accidents.
Charles Ravndals last blog post..This Is Really Mayjah!
Dami dito nga nyan lalo na sa malilit na province. Kasi malaki ang population, kokonti ang sasakyan kaya kelangan patong patong. Ang problema naman sa patong patong, lumalaki lalo ang population hahahaha. Ikot ikot lang yan. Kaya nga cycle pinag uusapan natin lols. Miss you Momski!
dangerous but looks fun – in da prabins yung mga sasakyan nun nakaupo pa sa bubung ang mga pasahero.

My site is http://youtalk2much.info
Pinoy Bloggers, i hope to include your sites in the list.
nami miss ko sumakay sa bubong ng dyip.. yung mga byaheng pa-Timbuktu at mas marami pang nakasabit at nakasakay sa bubong kesa sa loob ng dyip.
anong seatbelt seatbelt? wala. kahit pa ang takbo mo pang autobahn. oks na oks kasi sarap ng hangin. heheheh.
masarap kase pag marami kayo kahit sidecar lang tapos kumpleto kayo ng mga kaibigan mo. siguro yun yung nakita naramdaman ng photographer. hehe.
pero, lets stick with the topic: vehicle innovation. wala pa rin ako masabi basta pinoy! hehe.

Hi, Ms. Bing!
Belated Happy Mother’s Day!!!
The second photo is called “habal-habal” [link]. I used to drive one in Agusan del Norte way back when I was in high school.
The third one is called “Skylab,” that’s right!
Sa pagkakaron, mahadlok na ko mosakay ana. In my personal standard, mas lesser ang risk sa Skylab kesa habal-habal kay naa man gud katig ang Skylab…
Oy… napadaan lang po ulit akala ko may bago na dito…

Masarap maranasan sumakay dyan, lalo na kung baguhan ka palang. mag enjoy ka kung di ka natatakot. ung sasakyan ko ay sa lugar ng Bato II, Maasin, Leyte. pataas na bunduk at mabato na madulas pa dahil sa ulan.
