Tour Backgrounder
Every April for the past eight years, the Firefly Brigade have been mobilizing people to celebrate cleaner air initiatives via a leisurely bicycle ride around Metro Manila dubbed Tour of the Fireflies (ToF). The ToF is a 50-kilometer bicycle ride around Metro Manila at an easy, controlled pace that allows anyone who can ride a bike to participate and have fun. The cyclists don colorful, environment- themed costumes while pedaling at approximately 12-15 kilometers per hour through at least six cities. The main objective of the event is to raise public awareness about the health and environmental dangers of air pollution.

The theme this year is CYCLE FOR CLEAN ENVIRONMENT and is a celebration of initiatives for sustainable transportation and environmental protection. This is in synergy with international Earthday efforts which makes the ToF a perfect Earth Day event. Our major partner is the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

The Tour will passthrough the cities of Pasig , Taguig, Makati , Pasay , Manila and Quezon City . Start and end venue will be at the Tiendesitas where a morning and afternoon program will be staged.

Prizes for Best costumed participants, largest contingent, oldest and youngest riders are at stake.
