It took COVID-19 to change the minds of the council toward bicycles. The Baguio City council this week approved a resolution encouraging the city’s residents to use bicycles as a mode of transportation during the period of the extended enhanced community quarantine and its eventual downgrading to general community quarantine , until such time that the mass public transport system fully returns to normal.
The resolution points out that the use of bicycles as an alternate mode of transportation will provide convenient travel in the city during the ECQ and GCQ until the restrictions on the city’s public transportation system has been relaxed and lifted. The Daily Cycle Movement , a bicycle advocacy group in Baguio, hopes that the city would become more bike-friendly even after the ECQ.
