“McDonald’s has made great strides in our efforts to promote sustainable practices and innovations, and we are glad that our customers’ passion for caring for the environment while enjoying an active lifestyle has met its match in Tour De McDo (Ride the Arches). We are committed to growing Ride the Arches into a bigger, wider, and more inclusive movement, as we open more Green and Good stores nationwide and strengthen our advocacy for sustainability, health, and community well-being.” ~Denise Barrameda, McDonald’s Corporate Communications Senior Manager

On November 23, McDonald's Philippines held the first Tour De McDo in Antipolo City, Rizal, to commemorate National Bike Day. Active mobility advocates and cyclists were in for a treat.
About 100 cyclists took part in a fun 25-kilometer ride through the stunning hills surrounding Antipolo City as part of McDonald's Green and Good program, which aims to encourage sustainable active mobility.
This leg of Tour De McDo began and ended at McDonald's Mambugan, one of the country's nine Green and Good flagship restaurants. Every Green & Good store has energy-efficient air conditioning systems, power-saving motion sensors and LED lighting, rainwater harvesting tanks, solar panels and solar-powered lampposts, and other eco-friendly features. As part of the efforts to encourage active transportation, each Green and Good flagship store also provides outdoor amenities like Bike & Dine—bike-friendly stations where bikers can unwind, park their bikes safely, and get repair kits while enjoying their McDo favorites.

In February 2023, McDonald's Ride the Arches, an innovative and award-winning campaign, was launched to encourage cyclists across the country to ride from one Golden Arch to the next. Participants in the Rizal leg received a one-piece post-riding supper in addition to the lovely community ride.
Along with a Golden Chicken Curry with Egg, Rice, and Small Orange Juice, a special Green and Good T-Shirt was distributed. The event also included a special raffle where the lucky winners received Be Our Guest cards and McDonald's Gift Certificates.
Participants also congregated at the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) stand, where cute pairs of RMHC socks were offered for sale. Each purchase made a substantial contribution to the education and development of young children because all earnings went to Ronald McDonald Bahay Bulilit Learning Centers, which provide a safe space for learning and play.

McDonald's App customers can get the special Cyclist Meal—1-pc between 4:00 AM and 10:20 AM from October 26 to November 30.
