If you want to cycle, I would recommend to do it on weekend or public holiday as the traffic is not that busy.azizan abd azizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006236163126455346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699820894771340122.post-81768374827890107582012-09-13T12:42:58.343+08:002012-09-13T12:42:58.343+08:00A bike commuter plus weekend warrior from Penang h...A bike commuter plus weekend warrior from Penang here. It doesn't matter what to wear during bike commuting IMHO. What matters is to oneself visible to motorist. I tend to wear something bright in color during bike commuting. And yes, we are not immune to traffic law. I have seen others on bicycle flaunting the law just because they thought they do not need to follow it. Little do they know that they have set a bad example and not been fair to other cyclists who choose to abide by the law. Just my two sens.Alan Tannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699820894771340122.post-38078498534604913262012-09-12T21:08:57.497+08:002012-09-12T21:08:57.497+08:00i cycle for recreation. but i do wear the safety g...i cycle for recreation. but i do wear the safety gear i.e. helmet, cycling pants (but with shorts over) and gloves. since i had experience of cycling on tour in group and now currently alone, I guess I picked up safety tips along the way. i mean its the same as driving, be a defensive driver/cyclist. just that its more risky being on a bike, so we just have to take more caution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699820894771340122.post-90699198113298938302012-09-12T15:33:06.111+08:002012-09-12T15:33:06.111+08:00I have been cycling to work for more than 4 years ...I have been cycling to work for more than 4 years now. It helps me be a better weekend cyclist for recreation or in a group.<br /><br />Cycling to work shaped my road safety attitudes.

I am sure they have a choice. Could've walked or taken the bus, but chose to bike.<br /><br />I used to like interested in joining those social rides, but I find these so superficial. As a daily commuter, I don't dress in Lycra and wear helmet. I am a slow rider. I am a commuter. I am dressed in street clothes.<br /><br />I do agree we have a long way to go to have bicycle<br /> as alternative transportation. Government still do not recognized us commuter. For example, what is MBPJ doing building a network of cycling paths connecting parks? Who will cycle up and down hilly terrain to go somewhere?<br /><br />MPSJ finding housing back lanes as cycling path? Only for recreation. Some newer housing estates in KL/Selangor don't even provide for a safe pedestrian walkway.<br /><br /> So, it is up to us to help ourselves to cycle safely, thru maze of housing estate, trying to avoid main roads of high traffic. I live in Cheras, I still have no idea how to cycle safely to puchong or PJ without risking my life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
