The Igorot tribe of the Philippines uses whole trees to carve bicycles, and the craftsmanship is good, capable of carving out eagles, lions, horses, dragons in a variety of exquisite shapes of wood carving bicycles.

They also use these homemade bicycles to hold road bike races. Without a power unit, the race is to rush from the mountain down the hill, using inertia, relying on the driver's control technique and guts to win.

The bolder the technique, the faster the downward rush, the better the ranking.

Many of the bikes have thick calluses or scars on their hands and feet, which are caused by cycling.

These tribal people are very fond of traveling to towns in order to show people their gorgeous cars.

Very convenient when coming down the hill down into town, all the way downhill.

When I go back, it's a bit of trouble, it's all about pushing.

But they often enjoy it, because the amazed eyes of passers-by are the greatest affirmation for them.
