When getting around the metro area, you have three options: drive there and pay for expensive gas, use a ride-sharing app, which can be pricey but is more convenient, or take public transportation, which can be a hassle.
Perhaps you were at a crossroads and decided to forego leaving your house due to the seemingly endless lines of people waiting for buses, jeeps, or trains. That’s been the case for a lot of people, and it’s only gotten worse since life has resumed normally after the long lockdowns.
Recent years, however, have seen a dramatic increase in the number of Filipinos who choose to commute to work by bicycle. People riding bicycles in urban areas have become commonplace. More and more people are seen cycling, both individually and in groups, despite the unpredictability of the weather. They use their bicycles for a wide variety of reasons, from maintaining a healthy lifestyle and getting around town to commuting to and from work.
Moreover, bicycles are increasingly preferred modes of transportation because they can navigate the dense metro traffic with ease and use alleys and shortcuts that are inaccessible to cars.
But beyond these, many have taken to biking as a means of transportation because it allows them to avoid the hassle of driving while also reducing their environmental impact. More eco-conscious people are on the lookout for sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels as a result of discussions about how global warming is severely impacting the environment around the world, primarily due to the excessive consumption of fossil fuels for transportation.
People of all backgrounds are now more informed than ever before when it comes to making purchases online. People who care about the environment tend to support brands that prioritize environmental friendliness and long-term viability. Informed shoppers want to make a difference for the environment, so they look for eco-friendly substitutes for conventional products.
