00:01 Now, Metro Manila Development Authority is studying the departure of bike lanes in EDSA.

00:06 What can you say about that, cyclists?

00:09 Find out in the first news live from Bam Alegre.

00:13 Bam.

00:15 Good morning.

00:20 The importance of bike lanes during the pandemic has increased.

00:23 But now, MMDA is studying if there are any more of these, especially in EDSA.

00:27 Here's the street hearing.

00:33 Since the community quarantine until now, construction workers, Renato Pérez, are saving a lot on cycling to work.

00:40 He's exercising a lot.

00:41 He's getting what he needs for his transportation in EDSA.

00:45 Now, MMDA is studying the departure of bike lanes in EDSA.

00:48 Renato is in charge of it.

00:50 It's hard because, of course, like me, it's very expensive when you ride a bike.

00:56 We'll just pass through the streets.

01:01 Among MMDA's viewers, bike lanes are being removed because they're underutilized.

01:05 Or maybe it's already wide and motorcycle riders can pass through it.

01:09 Something that a cyclist, Abner Fernandez, who lives in Quezon City, doesn't like.

01:14 He's just pedaling until he reaches Pasig.

01:16 It's hard when you're riding a motorcycle.

01:18 You should just ride a bike.

01:20 If there's lane sharing between cyclists and riders, this is what Albert Ormoc, a delivery rider, is looking at.

01:26 Maybe just ride a bike on the inner lane so it's safer.

01:29 TNVS riders won't miss their bikes on the bike lanes even if it's removed.

01:34 EDSA is dangerous for cyclists.

01:37 It's better to move the bikes to other lanes.

01:41 Not to EDSA.

01:42 Because EDSA is usually full of cars.

01:54 That's why it's underutilized.

01:56 According to MMDA, 1,500 bikers pass through EDSA every day.

02:01 Compared to 117,000 motorcycle riders who also pass through EDSA.

02:07 This is the street near Quezon City.
