KALIBO, Aklan—Kalibo Councilor Juris Bautista Sucro has urged residents and local government employees to use bicycles as their major mode of transport in this Ati-Atihan town.
Sucro, who chairs the committee on transport, said the use of bicycle promotes not only healthy living but for environmental sustainability as well.
Although Kalibo has only 16 barangays, most of its road ways are limited to two lanes.
Because of Sucro’s resolution, the Sanguniang Bayan urges both the Department of Public Works and Highways and the Municipal Engineering Office to study how it could put up bike lanes.
Many residents using bicycles in Kalibo these days are either laborers or bicycle enthusiasts.
“If many more could use bicycles as a primary use of transportation, we could also minimize air pollution as Kalibo is the capital town of Aklan,” he added.
