Who's riding

I'm Louis. I ride past these places every day and wanted to know what they are.

Ride Minded started as a way to show the roads I travel to someone important to me. Now it's a record of the streets of Cebu, researched properly and ridden honestly. No staged drama, no borrowed opinions.
