Ilonggos from all walks of life and different ages joined the freedom ride along with different bike groups. Among the youngest was 11-year-old Divine Grace Genine who was riding along with her parents and siblings.
"She has been riding her bike since she was 6, and we have been riding as a family together since then," said Genine's father.
The oldest biker who registered was 69-year-old amputee, Rudy Fernandez, a paralymphic athlete who has been cycling since he lost his leg from a grenade explosion.
"My bike has been my leg since [my leg] was amputated. I can freely move around because of my bike. I have never been diagnosed with any chronic illness," Fernandez said.
