Biking have been added to my hobby and activity. Last November, I went to Baguio city with my brompton folding bike. Folding bike is allowed to put inside the bus (passenger seat) when its not full, i tried this on Genesis bus lines.

I arrived at Baguio city 4am in the morning on November 24, 2010. I first stop by at Dunkin Donuts to drink hot coffee cause 4am in Baguio is really freezing cold. While waiting for the sunset, a lot of people staring at my folding bike, but I knew that there is one person in Baguio who owns same folding bike as mine, maybe people in Baguio still doesn't aware of folding bikes.

After drinking, I unfold and setup my bike and start biking around Baguio. The wind is freezing cold while biking, but I can say that it is one great experience to be biking in Baguio city. Folding bikers out there should try biking around Baguio too, Its a lot different from biking in Manila.
The 2nd place visited was APTS in Ambuklao road, and rode my bike downhill, the experience was unexplainable but its a little bit dangerous when biking downhill specially from Ambuklao road because of the steepness. So be very careful when biking downhill from Ambuklao. After that I bike straight to the Mansion and Mine's view to take some photo of the view with my folding bike.

After that I bike straight ahead to the botanical garden and ate my lunch at the 50's Diners, one of the best restaurant in Baguio city. If you haven't tried 50's Diners, you may want to visit there when you got to Baguio. Their food is worth the price
My last destination is Burnham Park. While riding on my foldie, the security guard stopped me from entering the park, he said that bikes are not allowed inside the park, so I've got no choice and fold it in front of him. While folding my bike, he start smiling and saying good things about the bike, and asked me where to buy one, fortunately the smiling security guard let me pass the Burnham Park and spend the rest of my time in the park while I wait for the next trip of the Genesis Bus lines going back to Manila.
