I am a fan of your routes to work, it really becomes a daily adventure and at the same time it is very exciting. I also like to see how every day people become aware of the use of the bicycle as a means of urban transport, especially in big cities, where driving a car has really become crazy. Bravo for Peng Peng, I hope to see more of her in future videos. See you soon and a big greeting. 🤗🤗🤗
I desperately needed some inspiration to ride, so thanks for that. I basically haven’t for a year since the temporary bike lanes were removed and the traffic came back. Just have been feeling so depressed at the world and our endless stupidity, bad decisions and corruption. And we also still have 115,000 cases of covid every day still in the U.K. (thanks to independent studies who are still tracking it while the government ignore it). And millions permanently disabled with long covid. I’m just hoping for the extreme weather to get to the point where we come to our senses and immediately ban cars, rather than pretending we have decades remaining to slowly build out Dutch or Danish style bike infrastructure. Not that I want people to suffer with more extreme weather, but having it disrupt GDP growth is basically the only way we’re going to change.
Yes, is can be difficult to remain hopeful, with the lack of visionary fact-based leadership that most of the World is facing. But we have to keep up the pressure, because once we give up hope that's the end....
@@mysustainablefutureDefinitely not giving up. And I do think that we are approaching the point where people will start turning on cars rather than thinking about building bike infrastructure. But it would have been nice if we had learned that lesson during the full lockdowns when it was so obviously a giant improvement.
@@christill Agree. The Covid lockdown was a missed opportunity to re-build the infrastructure of our cities to make it more pedestrian/bicycle friendly. In Malaysia, a lot of people bought their first bicycle. Hopefully, they we soon start asking: How come I cannot ride it to work safely?! And demand for better bicycle infrastructure. We will see....
Glad to see another video, really impressed by your commitment - cycling in KL has always looked much too hazardous to me (i cycle regularly where i live) so I'm really impressed with your well-documented journeys ;-) My parents also live on that hill near your office and it would kill me to have to bike up there regularly!
Another alternative route to consider is to use Jalan Bukit Petaling and Lorong Bellamy to reach Tun Sambanthan monorail station. The bike has to be carried up some stairs though. But quite a pleasant and calm stretch.
True. Good suggestion. I quite like that connection myself. Would be great, if the pedestrian bridge stretched all the way to the top of the stairs at the end of Lorong Bellamy, because they are about the same height and would omit the need for climbing down the stairs and then back up again.
I hope so, too. I feel sad, when I meet Malaysians, who really like to bicycle and want to bicycle to work, but find great difficulty doing it safely in this car dominated society.
@@mysustainablefuture I can sympathize. The same situation exists here as well in the U.S. (California). Hopefully videos like yours will continue encouraging the promotion of safer riding conditions for cyclists worldwide.
@@mysustainablefuture Good to know! Increasing motor vehicles and speeding seem to have become a common experience here over the years, but safer roadways for bicycle commuters have been comparatively slow to catch up. Oh, how I wish for more protected bicycle paths as they have in other places like Denmark and other Scandinavian countries!
Thanks for another video. Encouraging to see you cyclists out there in a sea of cars and mopeds. What terrible infrastructure! Only a die-hard would venture out on a bicycle. What happened to Asia's cycling? When I was a kid in China in the 80s, cars were few and far in between, at least in where I lived. Everybody cycled, and everybody was physically fit. No obesity! Alas, Asia has joined the western world in its love affair with the car. It's ironic, because if they look, they would see their great cycling past alive today in the Netherlands and Denmark for example, and realize that they gave up something special. -Jian
Another eye opener video for people addicted to automobiles. Hard struggle for bicycle commute whilst automobile has a nice paved roads. If there will be a wish that will surely granted, I will wish that motorised vehicles shouldn't have invented. Automobiles destroyed the society and independent freedom
I amazes me every time that I bicycle how much money is spent on building car infrastructure compared to nearly zero for cycling! Perhaps, it is time to prioritise otherwise....?

Thanks - and definitely kudos to Peng Peng, who wishes to bicycle despite the difficulty of finding a safe and suitable route.
Happy to see a new video. Welcome back !!!
I plan to upload one more video this week ahead of World Bicycle Day on 3 June. Stay tuned :-)

@@mysustainablefuture Yeah. Except I don’t want bicycle infrastructure. I want to ban private cars and use the roads as bike infrastructure.
@@christill Some car free city centers are already doing this, but we need more of it... 😊

Thanks - and yes, it is not so easy to be a cyclist in Kuala Lumpur
Its been a while man! Glad you're back 😊
Yeah, uploading a bicycle video is a bit of a project, so I don't do it too often....
nice video - great cycling lovely video
Thanks - appreciate it
Great video! Any more Brompton vlogs coming soon?
Not until July (at the earliest). Stay tuned, and meanwhile, feel free to check out my previous videos :-)
hi my friend good to see back making content long time no see 💙👍🏾

@@willc2971 Exactly, I hope to help making a change by uploading these videos. By the way, I used to live and bicycle in Los Angeles in the 1990s

@@williamconcepcion7840 Agree. Coincidentally, I am from Denmark myself :-)
Penguin Peng did well following you to work I wish I could buy her an electric bike give her my love 👌
Thanks - yes, getting an electric bicycle would surely make this commute easier :-)
Where did you get the Omnium seat? I haven't seen it on their Webstore for a while; I'm giving up and just making one, but I'd rather just buy jt
I purchased it from their shop in person in Copenhagen

I couldn't agree more. Thanks for that great comment :-)
Hey found your channel thru a reddit post. Hope we can connect as I am looking to be cycling to work too!
Great. Welcome to the small - but growing - community of bicycle commuters. I suggest you check out this website: bikecommute.my/

@@mysustainablefuture If most of the politicians are under the payroll of you know! then prioritizing bicycle is the least of option.
@@onebicycle3772 It's also a matter of ignorance. Decision making don't know the great potential for and great benefits of bicycling
Cool men
Thanks :-)
Peng peng's bag needs to be secured firmly not just through the straps 😜😜✌✌
Agree, will strap it in better next time
