Some of the students that took part in the ride as part of Merdeka celebration at KPT, Putrajaya on the 30Aug2010.
If not for anything then it is just a start. Events like this have been organised often currently and in the past. Even without knowing much about cycling or the machine that they ride, participants in such event do enjoy the short ride that the event entails. But sadly, after the event those bikes that were used went back into storage.
All the students that took part in the abovementioned event were UPM students and yet amongst them only a few ride regularly despite the campus that offers the perfect setting for it. More will have to be done to promote the idea.
And more will be done, hopefully, with aid from KPT to promote use of bicycles for commuting in campus. Most campuses offers the right setting and potential take up volume presented by numbers of students that have to commute from colleges to faculties during term days.
