Who else gains from bike lanes?

Ayala Avenue in Makati is the gold standard for protected bike lanes in the country. So when the announcement came that these would now be shared with public utility vehicles, cyclists came out in force to protest. Ayala Land and the Makati LGU backed down and canceled their plan.

Howie Severino talks to Lester Babiera, cycling advocate and a leader of the movement to protect bike lanes.

Lester explains how the boom in biking is one of the silver linings of the pandemic, why bike lanes are important and why they make the streets safer for everyone and not just for bikers.
