As we first raced through the "Frogger" path of traffic in Manilla, we had to laugh at all of the aggressively piloted jeepneys emblazoned with hand-lettered 'How's My Driving?' signs!
This picture appears to be a random shot of one of the Hagen boys' new toys -- but check out the bicycle to the left. The kid is probably 12 or older, and his bike is approximately Emma's size...
It's not uncommon for grown men to ride a bike like this one. (This particular model also has no brakes!) One guy put Jen and I to shame as he zipped up the hill past us while we were riding the Hagens' ten speeds... Matt outran a slew of dogs on this little beauty. I have just one word... RAD!!!
...Also not uncommon for the trikes to be ablaze with names, family names, nicknames, Superman symbols and other American icons. I saw New Orleans Saints gear everywhere, and the FOX symbol was big too.
Here's a heavy laden trike -- these little things do big work. It's no wonder there are so many Vulcanizing shops along the roadside!
