Perils of a bicycle lane in Kuala Lumpur

Illegal parking: A DBKL enforcement officer issuing a summons for illegal parking. The car was among several vehicles found parked on the blue bicycle lane along Jalan P. Ramlee.

WHEN I was growing up in Seremban, the preferred mode of transport was the bicycle.

I thought that was only in small towns but when I got to university in the 1970s, I was told by my peers in Kuala Lumpur that they used to cycle to school as well.
