Photographer’s Note
Being Dutch I am very familiar with biking. I have been in Cebu (Philippines) for several times now but never saw many people biking there. People probably think traffic is too hectic and dangerous there for biking (except for some dare devils).
In Cagayan de Oro in Mindanao there is less traffic and it seemed less hectic when I was there, resulting in more people biking.
When seeing relatively so many bikers I started to photograph from a (sometimes slowly) our moving car. It was fun to try, here is the first colorful result.
This photo was taken along one of the major roads of Cagayan de Oro.
On the sidewalk you can see a tribike used as a public transport vehicle. The (usually) fixed fee depends on the distance.

Dag Harko,
A scene of life very well collected with the bike well located in the image. A very good managment of light, this light give nice colours and especially very pleasant play of shade and light.
Goed avond en goed week,
Roger

Hoi Harko,
Het zijn steeds goede geesten die terug keren, mijn foto was niet de beste en dat heeft een reden uiteraard.
Uw foto is daarentegen een goed shot, de wielen van de fietser draaien perfect, en dit is een must.
Zon en schaduw lossen elkaar mooi af waardoor er een creative foto ontstaat. Bedankt.
Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John.
