Poe notes that there
is fund for construction of bike lanes in the Department of Transportation’s
(DOTr) P17-billion budget.
“Our
bikers must no longer risk life and limb as they exert patient legwork in
traversing our roads (Hindi na dapat malagay sa alanganin ang buhay ng ating
mga kababayan sa kanilang pagbibisikleta sa lansangan),” Poe said.

provision of bike lanes.

bike lanes in their own jurisdictions.

cycling infrastructures, and purchase of bikes and bike racks for

“Our
people deserve more transportation options that are practical, viable,
beneficial and safe,” Poe said.
