MORE than 9,000 cyclists will take a ride on the Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah Bridge, the longest bridge in South-East Asia, on March 16 and make it into the Malaysia Book of Records.

Event organising chairman Datuk Farizan Darus said the 46km Merdeka Ride had been slated for listing in the records book as the largest gathering of cyclists.
