LAOAG CITY- Bikers in the province of Ilocos Norte are back on the road. And they are biking to raise level of environmental awareness. | |||
Edgar delos Trinos of the Commission on Social Action of the Diocese of Laoag said they are holding the Bike for Ecology as an annual cycling activity for ecological preservation, protection and rehabilitation. | |||
“The Bike for Ecology continues to serve as an affirmation of our common and enduring effort to promote environmental awareness among our people,” Trinos said. | |||
Now on its 10th year, the event will be participated in by more than 200 bikers from the different cycling groups in the province. “When the Director of the Commission on Social Action initiated the activity 10 years ago, there were only around 20 participants. Through the years, more and more joined this worthy cause,” he said. | |||
Biking itself is good for the environment because it does not use fuel or pollutants to run. | |||
The Bike for Ecology is also in line with the Christ the King celebration. It will be held on November 19, a day prior to the Roman Catholic celebration. | |||
Armed with stamina, bikers will negotiate a northbound 54-kilometer stretch, from San Nicolas de Tolentino Parish in the town of San Nicolas to St Francis de Asisi Parish in Pasuquin town, the host of this year’s celebration. | |||
Those who want to join may register at the Commission on Social Action near the Laoag Cathedral. | |||
