Bicycle!


"Life is like riding a bicycle.
To keep your balance you must keep moving"
-Albert Einstein


“Communication is a skill that you can learn.
It's like riding a bicycle or typing.
If you're willing to work at it,
you can rapidly improve the quality of every part of your life.”
-Brian Tracy


“Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind;
it requires the same effort of the brain
that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle.”
-Helen Keller


“Life is like riding a bicycle:
you don't fall of unless you stop pedaling.”
-Claude Pepper

“The journey of life is like a man riding a bicycle.
We know he got on the bicycle and started to move.
We know that at some point he will stop and get off.
We know that if he stops moving and does not get off he will fall off.”
-William G. Golding

“The bicycle, the bicycle surely,
should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets"
-Christopher Morley

"A PEN (or a keyboard) is like a giant bicycle- so huge and so powerful;
it can make the world so small, and it can even propel the soul!
But the WRITER is still the rider who takes the responsibility and full control!"

  9. sa Al Laith pala yan? mukhang malayo yan mula dito sa Khobar ah.

    What's the story behind the Bicycle NJ?

    Yung unang photo ay iba sa 2nd and 3rd photo or iisang bicycle lang yan?

    Pero iisa lang masasabi, ang bisikleta, the more faster ka nagpepedal, the faster you get into your destination, pero madali ka rin mapagod. Its truly a balance.

  10. all i thought it was ur own photoshoot..tapos bigla k lumitaw, hehe..u supposed to bring wd u ur malaysian friend in the pix..

    i remember, bicycle is one of my greatest fear and challenge when i was a pre-teen. i thought im not goin to learn that..hellen keller was perfectly right when she said "it requires the same effort of the brain".. i used to depend fully in my hand and feet..til my brain helped me to learn the art of balance and focus..

    more of this..

  13. Wow ang ganda naman! At ang ganda ng posing hehehe, ang laki pala ng bike na yan. Among the quotes I like Albert Einstein's quote :-)

  14. great quotations! nice pics. i learned to ride the bike when i was already in my mid-20s here at AIT. it gave me freedom and lots of thinking can be done while biking. here on campus stressed students are often seen biking around campus to relax.

  15. Nagustuhan ko iyong quote ni pareng Albert:

    Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving"

    Madaling maka-relate and it really applies to our daily life. Ang mahirap lang kung yung nasa photo mo ang sasakyan kong, I wonder how I can maintain my balance... (lolz)

    A blessed Sunday my friend.

  16. @Niqabi: Ikaw based…hahaha. Di ka yata natutulog. Nahuli mo kaagad yung photo concept on how it was presented para makitang talagang napakalaki…hehehe.

    @Doc RJ: Ako naman ang nakita mo…hahaha. Hiniyak ko na ng todo yung tyan ko jan eh kita mo parin… ano ba yung hinlalaki… di ba yan yung pinakamali ay pinapandak sa ating daliri…waaahhh!

    Pero Bilib na bilib ako sa quote mo…Hayaan mo… kukunin ko yan at isasama sa post. I-acknowledge naman kita…hehehe. Abangan!

    @Yanah: Hirap pag di nagamit ang bisikleta, kakalawangin ang kadena at dina makaikot. Learning how to ride a bike is fun. Di ka matututo hangga’t di ka maka experience ng pagkahulog at sugat. Yung peklat ang mag reremind sayo ng yung pinagdaan. Ang ganda sa pag-aaral ng pagbibiseklata ay pwede mong gawing mag-isa… hehehe. Any objection? Kung masira naman, e di pa repair…nyahahaha!

    @Badong: Giant bicycle nga ‘tol kasi hanggang ngaun iniisip ko kung papano ako makakasakay nyan.

    @Jessie: Sige ‘bro.. kodakan mo at e-post yung bike mo…hehehe. Gawan natin ng comparative analysis and dalawa…hehehe.

    @Jenskee: Akong kumuha ng first 2… yung 3rd one obvious ba? Hahaha. Tingnan nga naten ang galing mong sumemplang sa bike kung itong bike ang gamit mo? Wahhhahaha.

    @Azel: Ako rin agree na agree ako sa kay Einstein.. pareho kasi yung galing ni Einstein saten…gayagaya cya ano?

  17. hang laki naman ng bisekleta..hindi ako pwede dun, hindi ko abot..hehehe

  18. @Jee: hala sige pasyal ka dito sa desyertong malapit sa red sea at gawin kitang modelo sa bike…hahaha. Tama na muna yang bloghopping mo…kulitin mo na si CM na padala yung picyure para matapos na yung obra maestra mo…Hahaha… Inaabangan na naming and premier showing….shhh… secret pala yun… hanggang kahapon…hehehe!

    @Kenji: Kaya naman ng camel bumyahe mula Khobar hanggang dito. Mga isang linggo siguro…hehehe. Maraming story ang bicycle sa buhay ko mula ng tryke pa hanggang sa malahiganteng bike na yan. Pero ang nag-udyok (ano yon…malalim na Tagalog ata ah) ay ang unang quotation… yung kay pareng Einstein at ng makita ko sa baul ang mga photo shots dahil may assignment na binigay si Jee saken, naalala kong lisanin na ang paglalakad sa edsa na may bitbit na baong ‘jewels’ or Cadbury… tuloy muna ang laban sa King-Kongreso at magdiwang sa PEBA Awarding sa isang 5-star hotel by the bay… hehehe. Pwede na ba?
    Agree ako jan, pag wala kang bilbil, mabilis ka magpedal at mabilis ang dating mo pero kung ‘masipyat gani ka dong…pwerte sab imong hagbong’…di na matake ng effort ko ang translation…hehehe

    @Josh: the first two were mine… yung 3rd obvious naman di ba? Wala akong daladalang cam stand…hehehe. Definitely right ‘bro, it takes all our system to learn how to balance and to get going… parang life talaga ano? Dadalaw ako sa flat mo ‘bro…mayamaya! Sige bro dagdagan ko ng pix na Malaysian friend ko...

    @Mokong: Mabuti’t bike ang nakita mong higante…hehehe. Kaibigan ka talaga Moks… Yan ang gusto ko parati…na mapatabi sa higante para magmukhang maliit…hahaha.

    @Xprosiac: Happy Independence Day Isko! Nakabisita na ako sa makabayang pahina mo lulan ng malahiganteng bike ko… hehehe

    @Sardonyx: Wala bang Made in Japan na katulad nito…Alam ko puro stainless gamit jan… Kinabahan ako habang nbinabasa ang comment mo… Ang laki pala ng… bike nay an…hahaha…haaay…akala ko ang kasunod ng linya na yun ay… Ang laki pala ng…. tyan mo…Waaaaahhhh!

    @Carnation aka Jigsz: Thanks for dropping by. Hmmmn, I didn’t know that you were not a bikerider back then… ahahaha. Yes riding a bike just gives a lot of pogi points – as physical and mental stress buster. Pwede ring pangpapayat para sa katulad ko…hehehe.

  19. @Pope- As I said kay Azel, type ko rin kaya nauna…hehehe. Magandang lessons ang makukuha naten sa bisikleta… katulad din ng kwento mo tungkol sa lapis… We learn a lot from inanimate objects how much more sa gawa ng ating Great Creator! Keep on inspiring other lives Pope!

    @Pogi: Kaya mong abutin yan Pogi…si Batman ka di ba? Kung di kaya ng powers ni batman…sumigaw ka na lang ng… Darrrrrnnnaaaa! Bwahahaha!

  20. may punto ka nga poh talaga kuya, eh ang tanong ko, pano kung masira...kanino mo ipapa-repair? :D

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yanah, aba malalim na tanong ah. hirap din sagutin... Sabi nga sa manual ng kahit anong bagay na ginagamit... kung sira refer to authorized dealers o kaya refer to the manufacturer, aayusin nila or i-replace... kung buhay naman ang ating tatalakayin, refer everything to the Creator... He knows best!

  22. Impressive photos. Pero mas impressive ang mga quotations. Basta ako, I loovveee riding bicycles. Kahit ngayon ngang hindi na ako bata-bata, I still enjoy bicycle rides sa lugar namin sa Antipolo.

    Thanks for the wonderful post and photos.

  23. Thanks Nebz na nagustuhan mo ang shots ng amateur photojournalist wannabe...hehehe. di lang ikaw ang mahilig mag bike... I used to ride the bike for 10-15 kilometers a day before... nong malakas-lakas pa ang tuhod ko...
