Tiklop Society of the Philippines

Tiklop Society of the Philippines (TSP) is a folding bike organization founded on November 8, 2009 by Pio Fortuno, Jr. It is a Philippine-based organization that started on the same day that the Light Rail Transit Authority launched the Bike O2 program, allowing folding bikes on board the LRTA System's trains.

TSP advocates bi-modal transportation through the use of folding bikes alongside riding mass transport like trains and public utility buses. Aside from promoting non-motorized transporation, it also engages its members in humanitarian efforts by taking part in so-called "charity rides", or bike rides with the purpose of bringing along food and used clothing to charitable institutions like the Nayon ng Kabataan and Elsie Gatches.
