Yet Another Wooden Bike...!

Okay, since I've started this blog, I spend a fair amount of time looking up new (and hopefully interesting) material to write about. On my informational journey, I think I've uncovered a new (at least to me) phenomena: the wooden bike. It seems that--while I was so busy with my urban life--I'd never noticed these hand-tooled creations before. Much to my surprise, I've now uncovered a third one in as many weeks. Photographer, Harley Palangchao, says this pic was taken in the Phillipines.

This is the meaning of freedom, and according to what the near-naked, buffed riders are (or are not) wearing, there's not a whole lot of protection, should they take a spill--I mean, look at the first guy's hair, and the blur of the bushes behind them... Clearly, these mean machines pick up speed!
