In celebration of National Bike Month, McDonald’s Philippines challenged over 21 cycling groups nationwide to create routes by connecting McDonald’s stores with Bike & Dine facilities and sharing these online using #TourDeMcDo.
With its integrated bike racks and dining ledges, Bike & Dine allows cyclists to order via Ride-Thru and enjoy their McDonald’s meal conveniently near their bikes. This infrastructure started being rolled out when McDonald’s recognized how its 700 stores across the country are becoming the stopover of choice for cyclists.
Cyclists were encouraged to create their own routes and share these with the public using #TourDeMcDo on social platforms, including apps for the cycling community like Strava or Komoot. Fueling these rides were free cyclists meals and even special merchandise for those who shared the best photos and rode more kilometers.
“As one of our ‘Green and Good’ priority initiatives, we are committed to championing sustainable mobility by encouraging our customers to choose bicycles as a mode of transportation, contributing to a healthier lifestyle and helping the environment,” said Kenneth Yang, CEO and President of McDonald’s Philippines.
“Our McDonald’s stores serve as a one-stop place for biking communities–providing rest, refueling, and bike repair services, all while enjoying their McDonald’s favorites,” Yang added.
