Philippines Immigration Enjoy Immigration Life: To promote cycling as a form of exercise, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) launched another bike lane on Roxas Boulevard in Manila on February 9, stretching from Rajah Sulayman to Burgos Street.
MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino, who spearheaded the project, said that anyone with a valid ID can borrow a bicycle for free from the nearby Rajah Sulayman Park bike station. Cyclists can also leave their own bicycles there without worrying about them being stolen.
"We all know that regular cycling has many benefits for physical and mental health. It is also fun, affordable, and environmentally friendly," Tolentino added.
MMDA General Manager Cora Jimenez previously stated that the MMDA is planning to open more bike lanes to connect different cities within Metro Manila, the Philippine capital.
"We are constantly studying these plans because we also want to provide cyclists with safe and accessible spaces," she added.
Cycling is excellent; it is a way to exercise, it is environmentally friendly, and it can help alleviate traffic congestion. Why not give it a try!
