MANILA, May 15 (PNA) -- Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga is slowly positioning itself as a bicycle-friendly community and destination with the staging of two bicycle events — the Clark Bike Tour and Bike Expo on July 30 and 31, respectively.
Both events will be organized by the Department of Tourism (DOT) Region III in cooperation with Clark Development Corporation to promote travel and tourism using the most environmentally sustainable mode of transportation and leisure travel.
At the same time, it is also meant to create awareness on the value and importance of health and wellness as a lifestyle.
While the Clark Bike Tour will be held at the Clark Parade Ground in Angeles City, Pampanga, the Bike Expo will be held at SM City Clark.
The Clark Bike Tour will gather some 400 road bikers (divided into 100 teams at four members each) and participate in a day-long non-competitive bike-pedaling, peer-friendly tour of the various attractions around the free port zone.
Here, bikers take time to visit a number of tourist attractions or establishments, stop for snacks, drinks, take a ‘groufie’, post their photo on social media and end the day in a celebration of a successful journey.
While the teams are driving around Clark, some outdoor events take place at the parade ground to include on-bike tutorial for kids, lessons on bike safety and maintenance, including tutorial on how to fix a flat tire, among other subjects.
On the other hand, the Bike Expo is meant to enjoin bicycle companies, shops and associations to showcase their product line and services for the public to consider this mode of driving around the city.
An exhibition of bicycles of various genres may be held during the day (retro-bikes, old classic, modern, lightest and antique bikes).
Capping the day-long event is the distribution of certificates of participation, raffle draws, and prizes for such categories as most number of ‘likes’ on Facebook, best in uniform, friendliest teams, best family award, among other awards.
