Drive - 10 to max 15 minutes, lrt- 15 minutes (2 minutes lrt ride) 13 minutes walk. Cycle - 30 minutes maximum. I hv been cycling from home to office building on weekend to check the best route, the slowest time, the best time etc...but...the bike in the lift? That is the main obstacle although i am riding a foldable bike.
till today, i dint know that there was a bike commuters in Malaysia. I am studying post-grad in UiTM , Shah Alam and i have been cyling to school since my undergrad days. Its a relief to find one. Main obstacle i find why people are afraid of commuting by bike is that the heat and sweat. But all we commuters know that the more you ride, the less we sweat and the heat wont be such an obstacle. I ride my semi slicked MTB (unbranded) but it gets me where i want. No need for expensive bikes
Hi, your blog is perfect, I study transportation. the problem is weather, people are reluctant to ride a bike as it's humid and warm, so, more people tend to ride motorcycle to commute to work and etc., but this cause around 4000 fatality every year. the solution is exclusive motorcycle lane..........
Let's make every FRIDAY a cycling day to work! It doesn't matter wherever you are in Malaysia. Let's make it a healthy lifestyle.
Once a month, after work on 2nd Friday, we meet up for Teh Tarik or Bicycle Talk Session! For KL bike commuters I suggest at Pelita Restaurant near KLCC due to its prayer room facility, easy/safe bicycle parking and free toilet.
