Limited public transportation during the general community quarantine has led many to look at bikes as an alternate mode of transportation. Bikes are also recommended because they are accessible and they promote social distancing. Plus, they’re also environmentally-friendly!
As the entire Metro Manila adjusts to the new quarantine status, places like Pasig City have also been encouraging their residents to use this mode of transportation. Bicycle lanes will also be set in San Juan and along EDSA. With the increased interest in cycling, it’s good to know which bike shops in the metro can provide good service and quality products.
