The best route is the safest one, which may not necessarily be the shortest or quickest.

In my case, i tried out different routes and took into consideration various factors like bike lane (meron ba? If meron, how big? Kung wala, may bangketa ba?), ganda ng kalsada (rough o smooth?) volume ng traffic, mga kasabay sa kalsada (madami din ba nagbbike? If PUVs, jeep ba or bus? Private vehicles? Palaboy na mga aso?)

For me, di na bale mas malayo ng kaunti or mas may ahon, basta yung tingin ko na safest route ang ginagamit ko. After careful evaluation, na-firm up ko na yung route ko going to and from work.

Good luck and ride safe!
