The Baguio government has been advocating “micromobility” like walking or biking to reduce traffic jams and improve air quality in the mountain resort city.
Six “shared roads,” where bikers can travel safely to downtown Baguio alongside cars, were identified in 2021 by the city engineering office, but these bike routes may need further revisions due to updated street guidelines issued by the Department of Public Works and Highways, said Januario Borillo, who heads the Traffic and Transportation Management Division of the City Engineering Office.
Most bikers were male, and the areas frequented by bikers were Magsaysay Avenue , and the Panagbenga Park Rotunda which directs motorists towards Loakan Road , to South Drive , and upper Session Road.
