Thousands of cycling enthusiasts from all over the country recently
came together for Pedal Forward, a nationwide celebration spearheaded by SM
Cares aimed at promoting cycling as a sustainable mode of transportation that
contributes to a cleaner, greener, and more cycling-inclusive Philippines. The
event took place simultaneously at SM by the BAY and select SM Supermalls
across the country last November 23.

Declared through Proclamation No. 1052, National Bicycle Day is
celebrated every fourth Sunday of November, aiming to promote a culture of
cycling to reduce carbon emissions, alleviate traffic congestion, and promote
public health. In line with this annual observance, SM Cares created Pedal
Forward with the goal of bringing together cyclists from all walks of life and
encouraging them to ride not just for fun, but as an active contribution toward
sustainability.
