QUEZON CITY (QC) emerged as the Most Bike-Friendly City of 2025, after it earned a gold rating in category, during the fourth year of the Mobility Awards.

It was followed by Iloilo City and Marikina City, the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities said in a media release.

Quezon City also snagged the inaugural Pedestrian-Friendly City special award, which spotlights cities that made significant investments in walkable streets, safer pedestrian crossings and accessible sidewalks among others. It garnered a silver rating under the category.

“These dual wins, both for cycling and pedestrianization, show our city’s commitment to people-oriented mobility,” Quezon City Government Assistant City Administrator for Operations Alberto H. Kimpo was quoted as saying.

“We are at the forefront of changing lifestyles, changing behaviors, and hopefully addressing the biases [against] mobility in our nation.” — CAT
