    Compared to a metro or just another LRT line, bicycle lanes are much cheaper and easier to realize.

    In cebu city I’ve noticed quite a few bicycle lanes in some areas, in the better neighborhoods (it park) even separated with plastic barriers. Seemed to be well respected all in all.

    I saw a funny video on TikTok where a Filipino cyclist in Manila was screaming "BIKE LANE!" repeatedly at motorcycle and car drivers that were using and blocking the bike lane. Nobody paid him any attention, which led to him becoming even more irate.

    I would put my money on bike lanes immediately turning into an additional lane for vehicles and parking in most cities in the Philippines. No traffic enforcement, people will do what they please. You can paint all the lines you want, it isn't going to change a thing.

    Takes time. For some years after the helmet law began to be enforced, it was seen on no more than 1 in 20 riders. Now it's nearly everyone. (Although many are what I call toy helmets.) I only wish lack of headlights would be cited--that affects the safety of others.

    Hope to see the bike lanes as it would be soooo entertaining. Bikes with 6 people on it, flat tires, no brakes, wobble wheels, drunks, chickens strapped on the sides with Goats, Pigs, and 100 kilos of recycling crap. All are driving staring at their cell phones and smashing into each other. It's MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Fun in da Philippines!!
