Bike ride to Marikina River Banks

I spent half of the day on a bike ride with my friend Vinnie to the Marikina Riverbanks. I met her in front of her apartment building in Makati then pedaled out way via Mckinley avenue towards C5 road then on to E.Rodrguez avenue towards Libis then left going to Marikina. As we were biking along the banks of the Marikina River, we could already smell the stench because of all the trash that was dumped in the river. I even saw a few people trying to catch fish with their fishing poles. I was like, whoe! They actually eat the fish that came from the river? Blech!

The dirty waters of the river

Vinnie and I just kept riding for at least 4 kilometers along the riverbanks then went back cause our stomachs were already craving for food. We stopped for lunch at a local restaurant along the banks of the river and had a hearty lunch. Good thing we coudn't smell the river from there otherwise we would have lost our appetites.









As we started to make our way back towards Makati, I just had to stop and take a few pictures of some unique structures that can only be found on the riverbanks of Marikina.
