Allianz PNB is committed to promoting sustainability and convenience through various solutions and innovations for the future of the Filipino community. Launched in 2020, Ride Safe is a bike safety and education campaign that aims to reinforce cycling as a healthy & sustainable form of transportation and help address Metro Manila’s transportation problems worsened by strict health protocols and lockdowns, thus catering to the Metro’s growing number of cyclists.
Having gone to San Juan and Manila City, Allianz PNB is expanding its Ride Safe campaign to more areas in the metro, with Bonifacio Global City as its newest partner city. Located along 28th Avenue, Lane O, The Bikeyard is an environmentally-friendly place for people to meet up for rides, discuss hot routes, plan two-wheeled adventures or simply take a breather from pedaling. Standing out amidst the buildings that dot BGC, it is a landmark in itself. The park’s well-thought-out design features bike amenities such as elevated bike racks and tables that can double as bike parking built from recycled and biodegradable material, reflecting Allianz PNB’s sustainability commitment.

Hellish traffic, the need for greater mobility, and greater health consciousness have combined to drive the growing popularity of biking in the Philippines. The number of bikers grew at the height of the Covid-19 lockdowns when bicycles were one of the few allowed modes of transportation, but Filipinos have kept pedaling on even with the restrictions lifted, having discovered the innate joys of biking. Whether it’s to go to the office, to do chores, or to discover Metro Manila’s hidden wonders, biking is definitely here to stay.
