Cylcing within KL will be popular if the power that be is supportive to provide the necessary infrastructure (i.e. dedicated bicycle lanes) and when it is safe. This is proven in the 'Bicycle sharing system' in Barcelona, Toulouse, Lyon, Paris,Stockholm, Oslo, and Zaragoza among others where exist forward thinking legislators who see the needs.goBetonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656080949457203917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505978833234354766.post-20754351684842955852012-12-06T08:01:42.185-08:002012-12-06T08:01:42.185-08:00Cycling is about choice.

Your 3 proposals are just ways to discourage the use of private vehicles, not necessary to encourage cycling as means of transport nor building bicycle lanes.<br /><br />We should educate the stake holders of the benefits of choosing to bike as means of transport instead of casting a bleak future for car ownership. It's never about either you or me. <br /><br />A four-lane Jalan TAR is a wonderful choice to introduce bicycle lane in KL. Why do cars need so many lanes for? It is not an expressway. One for bikes, one for bus, two for cars. Excellent. Our roads infrastructure are too car centric already.<br /><br />We should not make car ownership too expensive like Singapore. However making cost of using cars expensive is the way forward by taxing fuel, ERP, slowing speeds of cars on the road, reduce public and private parking lots, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
