Bikershare is another alternative energy source

Another way of saving energy is to use bikes in the city commute in lieu of bus and automobiles. You use pedal power instead.  No pollution, it is renewable and is cheap.    This has been in use in China and in Europe.  This is known as bikeshare in Europe and is in wide use in major city, like Amsterdam.  You can go around the city by renting bikes in several points using prepaid cards or coins.   You get a bike, and when you reach the destination, you park and  lock the bike.  Then when you move on,  you pay for another bike and so on.

This movement/idea has found its way into New York City and Washington DC.

There is large growing number of workers but mostly construction workers who commute by bike. (This is dangerous still because many vehicle drivers intimidate the bikers)

I think they are starting this in Makati by having bike lanes.  But unless the pollution levels in MM is uncontrolled, bikeshare will not prosper.  We will just kill the bikers with respiratory diseases
