More support for appeal to lift ban on cycling


I REFER to “Appeal for government to allow solo cycling” (The Star, June 24) and wish to join Datuk Wee Beng Gee in asking the government to lift the ban on cycling and allow solo riders to enjoy their preferred form of exercise should the first phase of the movement restrictions under the National Recovery Plan (NRP) be extended further.

Until June 1 when the full movement control order was imposed, I used to get up before 5 o’clock every morning to cycle for an hour along the perimeter road within the grounds of my condominium complex. I started early to avoid the morning traffic of people going to school or work.
