Cycle to become like China?
Saturday, October 20, 2007
I find cycling to work rather fascinating. There are quite a few countries, mainly the first world countries, promoting cycling to work which I feel is really good... for the congestion and the environment... But I also feel that they are starting to become like the "old" China and China is trying to become like them... *if u don't understand... then....*
I think Malaysia is quite faraway from being able to have a "cycling to work" campaign.
1. It is mighty dangerous with the cars going so fast...
2. There isn't much infrastructure... even for walkers... U walk halfway and the side walks go AWOL... U have to walk on the road.. added danger.
3. Malaysians don't like cycling with protection *myself include* the headgear looks a little funny...
4. it's so hot, by the time u reach ur office, u'll be soaked in sweat even if U were cycling slowly..
5. Where should the bicycles be parked? If an entire company's workers of let's say 50 people, imagine how many lamp posts will have bicycles stuck to them...
That said... I feel like cycling to college.. but then again I'm to lazy to take any action.. hahah by the way, I don't have the gear and the drive to wake up extra early in the morning to inhale carbon monoxide.
P.S. I think I've caught the blogging bug... how many posts in a week?Labels: Gibberish, Thoughts
