When moving around the metro, you have three options for getting where you need to go: you may drive there and pay expensive gas rates, use a ride-sharing app that is also somewhat expensive, or try your luck with public transportation and experience hassles. You might have been at a crossroads and decided to remain home instead because of long lines for buses, jeeps, or trains. That has been the case for many people, especially once lives began to open up again following the protracted lockdowns.
However, a lot more Filipinos have started using bicycles for transportation recently. The sight of individuals cycling around large cities has become commonplace. Despite the nation’s inclement weather, more and more people are observed cycling alone or even in groups. They use their bikes for both fun and practical reasons, such as getting to and from work, remaining physically active, and doing errands.
Furthermore, bicycles are now turning into more ideal modes of transportation as they can easily squeeze their way into the frantic metro traffic and even squeeze through alleys and shortcuts that would otherwise not be accessible by cars.
But more than these reasons, many have turned to biking not only to stay away from the hassle of road transport but to lessen their carbon footprint. The conversations on how global warming is severely affecting the environment worldwide, primarily due to the excessive consumption of fossil fuels for transportation, have pushed more environmentally conscious people to look for sustainable alternatives to replace fossil fuels.
Now, more than ever, people from different walks of life are becoming more knowledgeable about their purchasing decisions. They opt for brands that have sustainability and green practices at their core – showing their concern for the planet’s well-being. Informed consumers actively seek out eco-friendly alternatives in replacement of their everyday essentials to promote lasting positive change for the environment.
