Cyclists ride in fear on our highways


Motorcycle and bicycle lanes alone the Federal Highway were recently painted with broken lines for a two-lane road facilitating the smoother flow of slow and fast moving two-wheelers.

THESE past few weeks have been a particularly worrying time for the cycling community after a male cyclist was involved in a fatal hit-and-run accident with a car along the LATAR Expressway at night, and a female rider was run over and killed by a lorry at Genting Sempah in broad daylight.

Then came the shocking news of the four para-athletes who suffered broken limbs after being knocked off their bicycles by a pickup truck while they were training on the LATAR Expressway.
