fuel for instance ... i was impressed after reading an anak jawa's blog living down under ...whose local husband cycles daily to work ... 28 km to and 28 km back ... about 1 hour journey to reach his workplace ... and he is lucky because the workplace has shower facility!
fit and getting fitter ... it is not out necessity, it is a habit ... that we Malaysian should do more right from young ... take away the motorcycles from the young and let them cycle to school ...
here's a program that can be emulated ...

... it'll be a great thing if we start seriously thinking about upgrading the infrastructure for public cycling ... cycling to ... school ... work ... jalan-jalan cari makan etc.
certainly we need a safe basic infrastructure and safe practice for cycling ... it can done in high income nations ...
and we want to become high income nation right :)
