A biker group built a community bike shop that offers free bike accessories, safety gears and parts for needy cyclist in Quezon City.
During the pandemic, a group bike shop was established in solidarity with the Bayanihan led by the Maginhawa community pantry. The cyclist community has posted a sign with the message “Magbigay ng hindi na kailangan, kumuha ayon sa pangangailangan upang makarating sa paroroonan” (Give what is not needed, take as needed to get to the destination).

To help the ride-to-work culture, Bikers United Movement and CycleBros opened a community bike shop in Quezon City. At the neighborhood bike store, helmets, protective vests, blinkers, headlights, pedals, and other parts and safety gear for cycling bikes are distributed.
Additionally, some organisations have a bike check service. They also urged other cyclists to give the vulnerable cyclists the opportunity to receive free bike parts and safety equipment.
“Iniiwasan din namin ‘yung pupunta doon just to upgrade. The idea supposedly of a community bike shop is that we service the community that is around us and passing by,” said Ann Angala, spokesperson and co-founder of the Bikers United Movement.
Community bike shops open twice a week in different locations. It’s normally constructed near bike lanes. Those who want to donate will do so by sending a message to the Bikers United Movement’s Facebook messenger.
