    I'm pretty sure they are getting some exercise in or training for a ride. At least they are wearing helmets...

    But I understand what you are saying; the wife will not let our son ride his bike to school and I'd assume for many of us that was how we got to school most days when we were young.

    Thanks

    I wasn't planning to leave a mountain bike unchained or hand my keys to a stranger. I may be thick, but I'm not a complete eejit.

    In seven years in China I had 3 motorbikes stolen. In 5 years in other countries in Asia never had a problem. It seems, and I hope, Dumaguete falls into the latter category. :smile:

    I was told that "recently" there was a foreigner up in Valencia that was sitting at the red chair that had a local come ask if the long-nose wanted his motorcycle washed for P20. Unable to turn down this great deal, the foriegner handed the stranger his keys and didn't realize what had happened until quite some time later. I was told the police did catch up with the thief and get the bike returned.

    No idea on if this chismis is true or not.

    If it even appears that something has monetary value it has a very real possibility of growing legs and walking away if you leave it unsecured.
