More than 5,000 participants are expected to join the 5th Iloilo Bike Festival on May 1-6 organized by the City Government through City Sports Division in partnership with Megaworld Corporation.


This year’s event positions the metropolis as “BIKEcation destination.”

“Biking has become the Ilonggos’ hobby these days. We have a very bike-friendly environment. We already have bike lanes for our bikers to be safe and more comfortable. Let’s all help ourselves to be fit and healthy to avoid sickness by joining this activity,” Mayor Jose Espinosa III said.

Festival director Arch. Wilfredo Sy said the week-long event’s goal is to make Iloilo City a bike destination while promoting healthy lifestyle among the Ilonggos.

“This year, our goal is to be identified as the most bike-friendly city. We’re confident to be nominated since we have more bike lanes, new university loop, and bicycle ordinances. We have a very strong cycling community here,” Sy said.
