San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora, along with Allianz PNB Life Insurance Inc., unveiled over the weekend the design of the country’s first solar-powered bike pit stop that to be constructed in the San Juan City Hall Complex along Pinaglabanan St.
The solar-powered pit stop will feature a bike parking area, a bikers’ resting area and a small footprint bike repair station complete with hanger arms, repair tools and air pump.
The design of the bike pit stop was patterned after the Allianz race car pit stops during Formula 1 races. Safety bollards for bikers will also be installed on major thoroughfares across the city, providing safe lanes for bikers to travel.
“We are thankful for the support of Allianz. It only shows that when we lead the way, we can build private sector confidence in government and support will naturally follow. We have been unyielding and consistent in our bike safety campaign. We hope to encourage more people to use their bikes as a means for traveling by ensuring their safety,” Zamora said in a statement.
