  Start Up #351: PadyaKalikasan by iKilos Bayugan - Bike Sharing with Geofencing for a Greener Future

  Sep 24, 202652 minS1

  Mhegan Niez is CTO at PadyaKalikasan by iKilos Bayugan. PadyaKalikasan is iKilos Bayugan's flagship campaign to build a bicycle-friendly community in Bayugan City, Agusan del Sur, as part of the youth organization's broader push for climate-resilient, low-carbon development. The initiative encompasses equipping the community with bicycle repair stations and bike parks, integrating environmental awareness through film, and establishing networks with the local government to implement policies for dedicated bike lanes, alongside integrating a bike-sharing system on a university campus. Its flagship implementation, launched through a partnership with Caraga State University with support from the Korean Safety and Environment Foundation, introduced a campus-wide bike-sharing system alongside plans for electric vehicles, public transport partnerships, and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure to cut carbon emissions and improve air quality. The program has already shown measurable impact, with 906 recorded rides in its first weeks translating to over 900 hours of travel and the avoidance of roughly 36 liters of gasoline consumption and 0.0845 metric tons of CO₂ emissions — a track record recognized when PadyaKalikasan was cited at Quezon City's National Bike Day 2025 Awarding Ceremony. This episode is recorded live at the 2026 Regional Science, Technology, and Innovation Week in Caraga at Robinsons Butuan in Butuan City.
