sobrang interesting ng mga usapan nyo mga boss, para sa akin na beginner pa lang sa cycling <3
yownnnn
luv all those insights combined with nostalgia, especially for us who also luv old-school rock, post-Punk and New Wave! Very timely that cycling is a very, very healthy, and cost-efficient alternative; take note on how in Germany–ironically, which makes some of the world's best engineered cars–cyclists are also esteemed and are given great priority with proper parking lanes and the like 🙂
Nice episode 😊
Solid! 🎉
Haru haru
