(SPOT.ph) Biking is a good way to take in the gorgeous sights near and around Metro Manila. It's no wonder that Rizal has become a cyclist's mecca, especially on weekends when urban dwellers just want to get out of the city, enjoy the view of Sierra Madre, and feel the chilly breeze from the mountainside. And on October 24, Sunday, Robinsons Malls and National Bike Organization are holding a fun bike tour around the winding roads of Antipolo. Ride starts at Robinsons Metro East in Pasig City at 6 a.m., and ends at Robinsons Place Antipolo in Rizal Province.

Here's what to know about this Antipolo bike ride tour
Participants can warm up at Robinsons Metro East’s East Deck, a newly opened one-stop outdoor lifestyle hub that has a biking lane, a jogging lane, and more than enough space for a quick workout. You can also prep your wheels for free at the Bike Repair Station found at the mall's Upper Ground Level.
Pit stops through the slopes of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range include Valley Golf and Cloud 9, famous for their viewpoints overlooking Metro Manila; San Pedro Calungsod Parish, which also boasts a veranda with a great view of the cityscape; and Antipolo Cathedral, where you can have your rides blessed for a safe trip.
The ride ends at Robinsons Place Antipolo, which has ample parking for the whole group and a Bike Repair Station to make sure everything's intact for your ride back home. The mall's Open Parking has also been tranformed into the Picnic Grounds, where there are plenty of food stalls to choose from and tables surrounded by trees.
“The Robinsons Malls Fun Ride at Robinsons Metro East and Robinsons Place Antipolo is just one of Robinsons Malls’ various initiatives to promote active and healthy lifestyle and encourage biking as an eco-friendly alternative to mobility. We collaborated with National Bicycle Organization for regular biking lessons at Robinsons Place Manila, Robinsons Magnolia, and Robinsons Metro East. We also launched self-service Bike Repair Stations and secure bike parking areas in Robinsons Malls nationwide,” said Myron Lawrence Yao, Operations Director of Robinsons Malls Luzon.
This edition of the fun ride follows the succesful Robinsons Place Manila Bike Tour in July. It is part of Robinsons Malls’ response to the increasing numbers of bikers in the country. They have also provided venues for the National Bicycle Organization's (NBO) bike lessons at Robinsons Place Manila and Robinsons Metro East; launched self-service Bike Repair Stations at Robinsons Malls nationwide; and opened well-lit and secure bike parking areas in the malls.
