MANILA, Philippines - Since the energy crisis, many Filipinos have been exploring alternative modes of transport and rediscovering the benefits of cycling—whether for daily commutes, quick errands, or weekend leisure rides. All for cyclists across the country, SM is making it sustainable to choose two wheels over four at their most-loved SM Supermalls.
Designed with convenience in mind, many SM malls offer bike-friendly
infrastructure and facilities that support riders who prefer a greener way
to travel. From safe, dedicated bike lanes and accessible bike parking areas to
convenient entrances and cyclist-friendly amenities, SM continues to welcome
riders who want to make cycling part of their everyday routine.

“At SM Supermalls, cyclists can also easily stop by to park their bikes,
enjoy a meal, run errands, or meet friends before heading back on the road.
Whether it’s a quick stop during a weekday commute or a longer visit during a
weekend ride, SM malls provide a convenient hub for riders looking to recharge
and relax,” Mina Kahn, SM Division Head and Assistant Vice President for
Transportation Management. “All SM malls are equipped with bike facilities both
indoor and outdoor, with a total of 823 bike parking areas and over 6,400
slots. There is also a total of 92 bike repair stations available across all SM
locations, in case of assistance needed.”

Empowering Biking Communities
For commuters, cycling can be both a practical and low-cost solution to
navigating traffic. It promotes a healthier lifestyle while reducing carbon
emissions—making it a sustainable choice for urban mobility.
That is why on top of in-mall
features and facilities for cyclists, SM Supermalls also hosts biking
activities that further encourage and empower cycling communities while serving
as platforms for connection and engagement.
To celebrate World Bicycle Day, SM Supermalls will organize its annual
Pedal Power event on June 6 across its nationwide network of most-loved
Supermalls. The cycling event assembles and supports cycling communities
through community bike rides and bike clinics that aim to build camaraderie and
deeper appreciation for active mobility. This year, The Podium will also be
hosting a special cycling learning activity through SM Cares’ Book Nook.
As part of the SM Green Movement, SM continues to champion active
mobility in support of its broader commitment to building spaces that are
accessible, sustainable, empowering, and inclusive for the communities it
serves.
Through SM Pedal Power, participating malls across the country are
helping make everyday mobility more sustainable and community friendly. These
include SM City Marikina, SM City Masinag, SM City San Mateo, SM Center
Antipolo Downtown, SM City San Lazaro, SM City Clark, SM City Olongapo Central,
SM City Rosario, SM City Lucena, SM Seaside City Cebu, and The Podium.
