By bicycle from San Juan City to Makati City

Hop on your bike in lively San Juan City, known for its heritage sites and scrumptious street food, and pedal your way south to Makati City, the business heart of Metro Manila. This 8.75-kilometer ride is mostly on quiet city streets—about 78%—so you can cruise without too much hustle from heavy traffic. Most of the route is smoothly paved, mixing both asphalt and concrete.

You’ll weave through neighborhoods, catch glimpses of Manila’s blend of old and new, and maybe even spot the iconic skyline as you approach Makati. There’s a gentle ascent (about 63 meters up in total), but nothing too demanding—just enough to get your legs warmed up. Makati’s sleek skyscrapers and vibrant scene await at the finish, perfect for a post-ride coffee or a bite.

All in all, it’s an urban adventure that gives you a great taste of Metro Manila, from tradition-rich San Juan to the cosmopolitan buzz of Makati. Don’t forget your helmet and water, and enjoy the ride!
