MUAR: Two friends have come up with the idea of organising a bicycle tour for city folk and tourists to enjoy Mother Nature and learn traditional Malay kuih-making.

Lily Tien, 32, who operates a hostel in Parit Bunga with her partner Teo Chin Jow, 37, said the programme was initially planned for foreign visitors new to the kampung lifestyle or who rarely have the chance to be close to nature.
