I have started commuting by bike for a couple of months now... 2-3 time a week.. I work in kuala lumpur.. the distance is about 30km round trip.

well most of you sure got it right about the heat... plus it is so humid here that you'll sweat in no time if you exert a little effort... lucky that I can take a shower at the office.

it appears that not many adults here use bicycle as a mode of transportation... most use bicycle for sport and fitness.. I can count less than ten cyclist on my way to work everyday.. this includes a guy whos riding a fixie or a ss (could not find out from him since he way to fast for me and I could not catch him)...

It would take a lot longer before bicycle become a prefered alternative transportation mode here... perhaps if the law is much stricter against those with DUI there maybe a few more takers on the commuting part..
