#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 2️⃣4️⃣: Only circular shapes ⭕

After considering other options, I went with depicting the circular streets of #MetroManila, #Philippines 🇵🇭, often called “circles” or “rotondas”. Each street’s center is placed on its exact location, but its radius and street width are scaled ~40×.

The streets and radii are from #OpenStreetMap while the street widths are measured using Esri’s World Imagery. The final image was rendered using #D3js and uses a Transverse Mercator projection.

Sheesh... Who knew shopping for #cameras was such a pain. 🤷‍♀️

So exasperating that I had time to reconsider my original choice #Fujifilm X-S20 and decided the X-T30 II is enough for my needs. Cheaper too. 🤪 But even that was hard to find.

And I discovered that there are only 3 pro camera seller companies in #MetroManila that carry 4 of the big brands. Sad, eh?

Long story short, I managed to snag a silver* X-T30 II body. No kit. The lens I want is unavailable. So I got me a pancake lens for now.

Oh the places you can go
On 2 wheels
Even for a wimpy turtle.

I haven't done an out of town ride in a long time. Maybe I'll try heading to Antipolo and see how far I can go. Safely. Without straining. And still having plenty battery power to get home.

#MetroManila pixelated and blurred out for obvious reasons.

Pixelating wasn't enough. Extra blurring does the trick. It evened out the hotter spots to show no hottest spots. 👌

Be careful out there please. At these temperatures, sweating won't cool the body down, #HeatStroke is a very real danger🌡️

You can message them. They really do respond. 👍

Your city's website and social media accounts might have #announcements too.

Well, it's not just #motorcycle riders. It's not uncommon to see #motorists 🛵🏍️🚙🛻🚐🚚🚌🚕 (even #cyclists and #pedestrians) here acting and moving as though they don't see others or don't understand the proper flow of traffic. #CommonSense #MetroManila #traffic

On another note, I've had a few pleasant experiences of 🏍️ riders actively* assisting this #TurtleOn2Wheels 🫣, like a ride marshall, slowing down to block potential danger and telling me "Sige lang, go."

😊

How #bike friendly is #MetroManila? A video documentary from the #Rappler. Iya Gozum biking 120 kilometers through Manila while reporting on its viability for bicyclists. Fun early-60s style soundtrack. #QuezonCity actually has some dedicated "bike patrollers" standing near bike lanes keeping cars from hitting bikers. Still, seems like a scary commute.

#ManilaTimes 06 Feb '24

And the article ends with:

"Data from #MetroManila Accident and Reporting System said that in 2022 alone, 2,829 road accidents were recorded involving #bikes, #ebikes and #pedicabs.

A total of 2,241 accidents involving #tricycles were recorded during the same period."

If #trikes are banned...
