‘Make Penang the cycling capital’

A visitor checking the bicycles used in the bicycle-sharing system in this filepic taken at the LinkBike station near the Town Hall in George Town.

LAST week I had to run errands around Little India in George Town, infamous for its congested traffic and lack of parking bays. But with LinkBike, this traffic problem became non-existent for me.

I parked my car near Town Hall where there is a LinkBike station, hopped onto one and pedalled to Chulia Street. In five minutes, I was there. No hassle of looking for parking. Hey presto! Did my errand and rode back to Town Hall.
