Cycling day trip from San Francisco del Monte to Niugan

Looking for a relaxed ride on the northern side of Metro Manila? This cycling route starts at San Francisco del Monte, Quezon City—one of the city’s oldest districts, brimming with classic charm and local food stops. You’ll pedal roughly 22.5 kilometers northwest towards Niugan, Malabon. The ride is mostly flat, with just a gentle 62-meter climb and a little more descent, so it’s easy on the legs whether you’re a casual cyclist or just looking for an easy commute.

Most of your journey is on quiet roads with a good mix of concrete and paved surfaces, though there’s a little patchwork of missing or less developed segments—great for keeping things interesting! You'll pass through varied cityscapes and likely spot some of Metro Manila’s classic jeepneys and tricycle lanes. Arriving at Niugan, you’ll find yourself in a neighborhood known for its laid-back vibe and nearby local markets. Grab some fresh lumpia or kakanin as a post-ride treat!
