The number of people counted on bicycles in major Philippine cities dropped sharply this year even as total cyclist volumes remained significant, with the 2025 Bilang Siklista tally recording 218,866 cyclists nationwide, according to new data from the Mobility Awards convenors.
Conducted from July to September across 180 locations in 15 cities, the latest edition of the country’s largest citizen-led bicycle count showed a 26% average decline in cyclist activity compared with previous years.
The sharpest recorded drops were in the Visayas (-30.61%) and Luzon (-28.16%), while Mindanao posted a smaller reduction (-6.62%), suggesting different commuting patterns in southern cities. | via philstar
