[sustran] More than a thousand cyclists join Earth Day ride

[Roberto Verzola]

More than a thousands cyclists, some of them colorfully costumed as a
horse, firefly or a grasshopper, joined the April 25 50-kilometer,
7-city ride around Metro Manila (Philippines). The event was
spearheaded by Cycling Advocates (CYCAD), as part of a four-day event
that started on Earthday, Apr. 22. The leisurely ride began around
7:30 am and ended around 1pm.

The ride was meant to highlight the effects of air pollution, call for
restrictions on private cars, and ask for bike-friendly policies and
facilities.
