More bike owners than car owners in PH – SWS MANILA, Philippines – According to a survey by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) conducted from April 19-27, 2022, one out of four households nationwide own bicycles. In nine national surveys from May 2020 to April 2022, SWS found that there were four bicycle owners to every car owner. In the National Capital Region, there were more households that own bicycles than cars and motorcycles. Even in rural areas where motorcycles are more commonly owned, bicycles dominate over four-wheeled vehicles. Bikes are primarily used for livelihood purposes, market runs, and commuting to work. Others cycle for exercise, play, and sightseeing. Cyclists laud the recent SWS report, saying the report fills a “big gap in data” that the biking community sorely needs. Frontliners, essential workers used bikes to go to work during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cycling also became a safe form of exercise as it is performed outside and naturally keeps you at a distance from fellow bikers. A big number of bikers were males. The survey found that 8.9 million household members who use bikes were males. This was a considerable number compared to the 2.3 million females who bike. Better roads, more bikers As the cycling community grows, bike advocates continue to push for better conditions on the road. But it’s not just advocates and cyclists who promote bike safety and awareness anymore. Majority of Filipino households approve of bikes. According to SWS, 80% of Filipinos believe that better roads would encourage more people to use a bike. Some 75% see cycling as effective as other modes of transport. Despite evidence that there are many Filipinos who use bikes for their daily commute and errands, cities and municipalities across the country are still lacking proper infrastructure. There are potholes, metal sheets, and drainage covers on bike lanes. Vehicles use the lanes to park their cars, pushing bikers to use other lanes. Secure parking is also a problem in many establishments. Heading into the ‘new normal’ and ‘back-to-school’ traffic, the public has yet to see if there are any major changes that would improve commuting and transport experience.

What It Is: If it’s a bike built for fun—but not a road or mountain bike—it’s probably in this broad category that encompasses everything from flat-bar fitness bikes to beach cruisers. Some fitness bikes come in women’s versions with different touch points, and you’ll also find traditional diamond-frame and step-through versions in styles like hybrid, comfort, and cruiser. Sub-Types of Comfort/Fitness Bikes: Hybrid: Named because they share features of road and mountain bikes, these feature the upright rider position, broad-range gearing and flat handlebar of a mountain bike, with narrower, fast-rolling tires with light tread. Some have suspension forks as well. Fitness: These emphasize road bike-like efficiency without the aggressive position, with lightweight frames, performance parts, and narrow slick tires paired to flat handlebars for a more comfortable rider position. Comfort: These bikes are marked by wide, lightly-treaded tires, cushioned seats (and sometimes suspension) and a very upright rider position. Cruiser: The classic swoopy-framed beach cruiser with fat tires, one to seven gears and wide, chopper-style handlebars. What It’s For: As with urban, this category covers a broad range of use, and you’ll want to pick your style based on what you’ll do with it. Fitness bikes are made for working out; hybrids are great for rambles on paved or light dirt paths; comfort is perfect for a refreshing Saturday morning spin to the coffee shop.

Tokyo police get strict on dangerous cycling as accidents soar Amid concerns over increasing traffic violations by Tokyo's growing cyclist population, the Metropolitan Police Department has introduced harsher punishments for four bicycle infractions. Under the stricter regulations the police adopted in late October, riders are more likely to be issued traffic tickets instead of warnings if caught ignoring traffic lights, failing to make temporary stops at specified points, riding against traffic or cycling fast on sidewalks. Incidents involving bicycles have come to represent more of the capital's traffic accidents in recent years, with police data showing they accounted for 46.6% of accidents this year as of the end of September. Yearly totals show their involvement in all accidents has risen from a 32.1% share in 2016 to 43.6% in 2021. In 2021, police nationwide reported 21,906 cases of illegal cycling and 359 bicycle accident deaths. In over 75% of the cases involving fatalities, rules were broken, including ignoring traffic lights. The increase comes amid a general rise in bicycle usage, fueled partly by the ballooning food delivery industry and lifestyle changes prompted by the coronavirus pandemic. A Tokyo Metropolitan Government survey released in April found 22.3% of Tokyoites reported cycling more since the pandemic began, including about 30% of those in their 20s and 30s. Even Japanese lawmakers are not immune to the trend, with an increasing number cycling to avoid the traffic around Nagatacho, the seat of the nation's politics. "When I lost the black ministerial car, that's when I bought my black bicycle," laughed Takashi Yamashita, a ruling Liberal Democratic Party lawmaker who served as justice minister from 2018 to 2019. But the bustle of bicycles has also proven a concern, with a Japan Bicycle Promotion Institute survey showing 71.8% of pedestrians and 88.1% of motorists have felt annoyed or in danger due to cyclists. Under the crackdown designed to reduce the most dangerous violations, an individual issued two citations within three years must attend a three-hour, police-run course on appropriate cycling and pay ¥6,000 ($40) for the tuition, with failure to do so incurring a fine of up to ¥50,000. Violators can also be subject to criminal punishment, although the actual prosecution rate from a ticket is only around 1% to 2%. Ahead of the introduction of the tougher measures, officers were outside Tokyo's Shinagawa Station on a mid-October morning to show the press how they will keep a watchful eye on cyclists. Individuals spotted bypassing traffic lights or riding with earphones in were stopped and given warning cards. Other measures already taken this year have included an initiative by the National Police Agency in May that compiled 1,887 problematic areas and roads for each prefectural police force to crack down on for at least one day a month. In addition to conventional bicycles, sales of power-assisted bikes have also surged, with the industry going from annual sales of around 250,000 units in 2007 to 790,000 by 2021. Their uptake, though, has come with new dangers, particularly for young families. In Osaka Prefecture alone, between January and the end of June, 48 preschool-aged children were caught up in bike accidents, with 28 of them passengers on power-assisted bikes, local police said. In April in Higashiosaka, a mother riding one of the bikes with seating for her two children crashed, causing her 3-year-old son, who was sitting in the front seat, to be ejected onto the road, where he was struck and killed by a truck. Private-sector firms are stepping in to respond to the string of high-profile accidents. One of them is Panasonic Cycle Technology, a major Osaka Prefecture-based bicycle-maker that has started holding seminars on the proper operation of its power-assisted bikes with small children on board, including measures such as securely fastening seat belts. "It might have seemed obvious to us, but I saw with my own eyes what kind of things aren't being conveyed," said Hiroshi Kurihara, a division chief at Panasonic Cycle Technology who organized the seminars. The company will expand the sessions to the Tokyo metropolitan area from the autumn onward, Kurihara said.

Six Crazy Concept Bikes You'll Never Ride There’s something about the bike, along with the chair, that draws designers. Despite being an almost perfect design already, the reworkings of the humble bicycle seem almost endless. Some are genuine improvements, such as the change from pedals fixed to the front wheel (Penny Farthing) to a rod or chain driving the rear wheeL

Car branded bicycles are already sold in Mendoza Toyota Bikes, From Mendoza to the World The Japanese-origin Toyota’s brand launched its own range of electric bicycles, which it calls T-Bike, and confirmed that manufacturing is in charge of an Enerbi startup from Mendoza. Mendoza Startup is made up of a group of friends and partners who have been committed to innovation and sustainability from the very beginning. They are: Nelson Negretti, Renzo Manzano, Fernando Espina and Daniel Morisi. The official price is currently $377,952 as of the end of August and is available at the official Toyota dealer in Mendoza. Another option is direct purchase, although in that case they won’t have the aesthetics and special customization to match the Hilux. In addition, the Toyota electric bike went through a demanding production process to create the vehicle giant.

RE-LIKE THE BIKE Remember bike riding? And remember liking to ride a bike? For some of us, the concept seems a distant memory—kind of like CD players and asking some guy named Jeeves. But hop on a Batch and something quite neat happens: Bike riding rushes back. The feel. The freedom. The skill. The simple joy of cruising past the same-old, same-old only to discover how different things look from a little up above.

Geraint Thomas might be done with the Tour de France Welshman says that 2023 may well see him head to the Giro d'Italia in what could be his last year. Geraint Thomas has hinted that he might not ride the Tour de France next year in what could be his final season as a professional cyclist. In an interview with Cyclingnews(opens in new tab) and VeloNews(opens in new tab), published on Wednesday, the Ineos Grenadier rider said he wanted to "make the most of" his 2023 season, and that he could ride the Giro d'Italia instead. This year he finished third at the Tour, the third time he has finished on the podium at the Grand Tour, after winning it in 2018 and finishing second in 2019. He also won the Tour de Suisse, and proved his worth to his Ineos team despite there being a plethora of general classification riders in the squad.
