Cyclists cycling around KLCC during the restriction period.
CYCLISTS have been put in the spotlight over the last few months following an increase in their numbers since the movement control order started.
The lack of closed-road cycling events due to the Covid-19 pandemic has seen these enthusiasts taking to the road on their own to resume their favourite activity.
