The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has built shower rooms with eight cubicles for cyclists in Pasig City to promote the “bike-to-work” initiative.
In a Facebook post, MMDA General Manager and Spokesperson, retired General Nicolas Torre III, invited cyclists to attend the inauguration of the facility, which will be held tomorrow, March 17, at 8:00 a.m. at the MMDA Motorcycle Riding Academy on Meralco Avenue corner Julia Vargas Avenue in Pasig City.
“This facility is open for cyclists and walkers who need a place to freshen up before work — a simple but important step in making our cities more supportive of active transport,” Torre said in his post.
According to Torre, the project is part of efforts to support bike-to-work and active mobility in Metro Manila. The facility will be open to cyclists and pedestrians who want to freshen up before heading to work.
“We hope that this small initiative can serve as an example for other offices and institutions to also provide end-of-trip facilities for active mobility users,” he added.
