The mayor also enjoyed riding his Bambike (bamboo-made bike) given by his son Mayor Javi Benitez.
He said, “Let’s utilize our car-free hours on Lacson Street every Sunday to stay fit, and healthy, and as a way to bond with our friends and families.”
The Car-Free Sunday was initiated by Mayor Benitez and adopted by the Sangguniang Panlungsod to encourage all Bacolodnons to engage in a healthier lifestyle that involves walking, running, or riding a bicycle.
