I don't How/When the Japan country starts to use a bike as one of their Mean for transportation? (Aside from Train) And maybe this helps a lot for them to minimize a fuel or gasoline consumption and to be affected w/fuel increases!
How about the Philippine gov't also wud find a way to make use of it, since our destination or places are just too short compare here in japan to make an excuses of tiredsome?
-But i think the problem is how the gov't can provide a bike lane enough for bikers. And the Big One is the Characters of the FILIPINOS! kay kadaghanan sa pinas sad gud kay mga kawatan masuya dayon, so lisod sad ug asa ibutang ang bikes! Unlike in japan bsan byaan pa na sa daplin sa dalan for 1week inig balik nimo naa lang gihapon!
Ngano sad kaha nga ang mga pinoy in-ana man sad ug mga batasan? Pero maybe mausab paman sad cguro na kay nganong nabuhat man sa mga hapon ang pag respeto sa usag2x? "and that not to rob anyone's property"...
So ug ma implement lang unta ang bike lane and proper behavior/character sa pinas, cguro dili moabot sa point mga ma affected dayon sa crisis noh! World crisis kuno ang gasoline price increase but here in japan wla man ko ka feel nga naay crisis diri...
