The Pasig City government on Friday (July 24) installed bike racks in public buildings in the city, as part of its efforts to promote biking as an alternative mode of transportation.
Mayor Vico Sotto said Friday that 60 bike racks were installed at the City Hall, Pasig Mega Market, and at the Gender and Development Compound, among other public establishments in the city.According to Sotto, each bike rack costs about P15,000 and can hold up to six bicycles.
Sotto announced in a radio interview on June 7 that the local government would procure about P1 million worth of bike racks, saying they are “more cost efficient” than constructing parking spaces for cars. Sotto had earlier said that the community quarantine has proved that biking to work is possible here in the country.
