Government impact on bicycle-related projects and advocacies for the past four years suggest that the government can only do so much to help address the needs of the local bicycle community. In contrast, it appears that the commercial private sector has better ways of helping sustain the local bicycling community through its numerous bike-related events, projects, and advocacies. In light of the Philippines’ bicycle community laws and regulations, this study has the following aims: (1) take a closer look into the possible factors preventing the passage of the eight legislative bills on cycling from 2015 to 2017; (2) to determine the factors that drive private companies to support the cause of bicycling; and, (3) to propose ways on how the commercial private sector can influence the government’s decision-making policies.
