QC opens cycle park at former dumpsite
The Quezon City government has opened a new bike park at the Payatas Controlled Disposal Facility, the former Payatas dumpsite, Mayor Joy Belmonte said. The bike park has four designated routes utilizing its asphalt roads and off-road trails. Routes range from beginner to advanced and offer stunning views of the surrounding area. The park also features a bamboo park, a dog park, an open-air museum, and a plant nursery. The dumpsite closed down in 2010 following an avalanche of trash that killed over 200 informal settlers. Belmonte’s office said the opening of the bike park is part of the city’s efforts to promote environmental awareness and provide more green spaces for its residents. Likewise, the city has also established 167 kilometers of protected bike lanes and over 200 parks and open spaces, it added. The city is conducting a Geotechnical Investigation and Slope Stability Analysis of the PCDF to ensure the safety of the area. Under normal conditions, the old mound and portions of the landfill can be utilized for various activities such as biking, jogging and Zumba, but with strict limitations on the number of visitors to avoid crowding. The opening of the bike park is a welcome development for the city of Quezon City. It provides a safe and enjoyable space for residents to enjoy the outdoors and learn about environmental conservation.

PHI men s volleyball team members stay fit through cycling
National men’s volleyball team members are riding the new craze to stay fit while leagues and activities of the sport are still banned because of the health crisis. Team captain John Vic De Guzman, Bryan Bagunas and Jau Umandal as well as other members of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games silver medal-winning squad are hitting the road with their newfound love for cycling. “Ginagawa ko na siyang alternative sa endurance training ko. Cross-training ko na rin siya. Para maiba lang kaysa sa palaging takbo lang,” Bagunas told ABS-CBN Sports. Last Thursday, the trio in their first time together since the lockdown pedaled for around 40 kilometers from CCP complex to MOA around Okada and back. “‘Yung dalawa matagal na rin silang nagba-bike. Tapos na nag-chat ako kay Bry na baka makakuha na ako ng bike. Tapos ayun natauloy din kami,” said De Guzman, who for months stayed in Isabela with his good buddy Ricci Rivero with Luzon put under an enhanced community quarantine because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. “Iba yung papawis kasi kahit papaano nagi-enjoy ka,” he added. “Kahit papaano nakaka-bonding mo rin sila.” (Photo from Bryan Bagunas' Instagram account: bryanbagunas01) Learning about each other’s interest in biking through their social media posts, Bagunas and Umandal, who rides a road bike, were actually the ones who planned their meeting. “Nakita ko siyang nag-post ng picture na nagba-bike tapos nakita rin niya ako na nag-post hanggang sa magkayayaan na,” shared Bagunas, who owns a mountain bike. “Itong si John Vic naman nasa Isabela pa kasi siya nung last week pero nagtsa-chat na siya na sama raw siya pag nakabalik na siya. Nagka-schedule na magkasama-sama.” Last Saturday, the trio joined other former national team members including coach Emil Lontoc, Kungfu Reyes and Ottie Camangian in a get-together bike run which kicked off in Las Pinas. Meanwhile, libero Ricky Marcos is hitting two birds with one on his bike. The Bulldogs standout is not only using his bike to stay fit, it also serves as his delivery ride for his online business. Marcos himself delivers samgyupsal to his customers on his bike. Marcos is one of the first national athletes to avail of the free bicycles given by the Philippine Olympic Committee through the initiative of its President Cong. Bambol Tolentino. Rhea Dimaculangan of the women’s volleyball team is also a first batch recipient of POC’s free bikes. Bagunas said that other national team members are actually looking to join them in their cycling runs. “Pati ‘yung iba may plano nang bumili ng bike. Sigurado sa susunod ‘yung iba mapapasama na,” he said. “‘Yung iba nagsa-cycling na rin sila pero di pa namin nakakasama pa.” With their usual training activities still prohibited, volleyball athletes are finding ways to stay in shape and remain in tip-top condition. “Mahirap na rin magpabaya eh,” said Bagunas. “Kasi siyempre baka biglang magkalaro na nga. Siyempre buhay na natin 'yang volleyball.” --- Follow this writer on Twitter, @fromtheriles.....»»
