Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Among those identified as vulnerable on road accidents are the cyclists; as there are no existing laws to specifically protect them, more and more accidents occur. Cycling is considered as a major physical activity and the most convenient means of transportation; hence, there is a need to develop an academic discourse on road safety and emergency preparedness among cyclists. This study aimed to describe the concept of road safety and emergency response practices of cyclists in Angeles City. To contextualize this, the study employed the qualitative-descriptive method. Through participants’ narratives, a descriptive-exploratory approach was initiated by means of in-depth interviews. Snowball sampling was used to identify known cyclists within Angeles City. After interviewing five (5) participants,data were analyzed using Manual Qualitative Analysis through Categorization, Coding, and Thematic Analyses. Major findings implicate that cycling is not just a physical activity but also employs several dimensions such as social and cognitive health. Under these dimensions, several aspects are in need to be emphasized and included in the formulation of road safety lessons and skill-based emergency response specifically integrated in Physical Education.
