AS A testament to the growing number of bikers in Cebu, more than 100 participants are expected to join the folding bike competition of the Road Revolution, as part of the Independence Day celebration this Sunday at 10 a.m. in front of the Cebu Doctor’s University Hospital (CDUH) at Osmeña Blvd.
The road from Capitol to Plaza Independencia will be closed the whole day. The event is spearheaded by the Tindak Bisdak Cebu Folding Society. After the starting gun, the participants, who are 20 meters away will run towards their folded bikes and race the 600-meter distance from CDUH towards Fuente Osmeña.
They will have four divisions based on the sizes of the bikes. The event is part of Road Revoltion Philippines’ campaign for sidewalks, bike lanes and collective transportation system in Cebu. Aside from cycling, there will also be a freedom walk from Cebu Provincial Capitol to the Plaza Independencia, a running event and a skating competition.
“We are tired of the chaos, accidents, air pollution and injustice that prevails in the road system of the Philippines... We, the Filipino People, hereby initiate this petition to promulgate a local ordinance to reform the existing road system. We ask that an ordinance be passed to convert all existing roads within our city to favor people instead of favoring motor vehicles. After all, towns and cities were made for people, not for motor vehicles,” the group said in a petition at roadrevolution.ph.
