My Neighborhood

Posted by UndeadOverlord on 26 August 2018 in English.

As I was mapping my neighborhood, I mostly know the streets in my neighborhood for I sometimes use my bike to wander around and because of that, I ventured streets that I am not familiar with then learning where the street would end. Biking really helped me know my neighborhood for because of this, I didn’t have a hard time knowing where to go next after going to a certain place. My neighborhood mostly consist of residential houses, there are some business buildings, sari-sari stores and shops but it is mostly residential houses. To conclude, I had a fun time mapping my neighborhood for I just use to wander around my neighborhood with my bike without really knowing what’s in my surroundings but now that I mapped my surroundings, I saw features that I didn’t realize that was their so now I can say that I learned new things about my neighborhood.

Biking is one of the best ways to explore communities around us, despite not having enough biking infrastructures to promote the safety of bikers. There are still numerous neighborhoods with quiet streets where you can comfortably give your bike a whirl, discover what’s around you, and at the same time exercise

Thank you for posting your experience, and sharing what you’ve discovered. I’m looking forward to seeing them on OSM soon.

Cheers,
