Background

The 1-Rider Partylist started out as a rider's club based in Bicol which would organize charity rides and provide legal aid to riders. The group later partnered with the Riders' Safety Advocates of the Philippines (RSAP) of Bonifacio Bosita and decided to launch a bid in the 2022 elections to get party-list representation in the House of Representatives.{{cite news |last1=Fuentes |first1=Art |date=26 May 2022 |title=1-Rider Party-list: Motorcyclists rev up seats at the legislative table |work=ABS-CBN News |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/spotlight/05/26/22/1-rider-party-list-from-motorcyclists-to-lawmakers |access-date=29 May 2022}}

He disputed the enforcer's action of filing a ticket against a couple driving in tandem on a motorcycle for breaking a shoes-only policy – while the driver was wearing shoes the backseat woman passenger was penalized for wearing slippers causing her to miss a day of work. Bosita made the enforcer reimburse the money the passenger lost for missing a day of work. MMDA traffic czar Edison Bong Nebrija in response alleged that Bosita was exploiting traffic enforcers for political gain.{{cite news |title=‘Mag-apply ka sa MMDA’: Nebrija blasts riders’ group leader Bosita over trending ‘Shoe-gate’ |url=https://mb.com.ph/2021/03/08/mag-apply-ka-sa-mmda-nebrija-blasts-riders-group-leader-bosita-over-trending-shoe-gate/ |access-date=16 May 2022 |work=Manila Bulletin}}
