BACK in January 2014, the mayor of Kuala Lumpur launched the monthly KL Car Free Morning, where some roads in the city centre were closed to motor vehicles for two hours. The objective, I believe, was to encourage citizens to take up a more environmentally friendly mode of transport such as cycling.
Fast forward to today where the same event is now a fortnightly affair dominated by people on bicycles but there seems to be no significant change in the number of people riding bicycle as a mode of transport in the city.
