What to expect at the free bike lessons in Pasig City:
If you’ve been planning to learn how to ride a bike for the longest time, then Pasig City is the perfect place to do so. The city is known for pioneering bicycle-friendly initiatives, from opening protected bike lanes to requiring private establishments to install bicycle parking racks within premises.
You don’t have to worry about running into vehicles either as Emerald Avenue is one of Pasig City’s eight People’s Streets, which means the entire stretch is car-free from Saturday, 6 a.m. to Sunday, 6 p.m.
The People’s Street project started in 2021 with the help of Pasig City Transport Development and Management Office, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to maximize the roads without cars in the way. It’s a breath of fresh air in an otherwise car-centric Philippines.
