Bicycle lanes in Putrajaya were supposed to undergo a six-month trial period beginning mid-January this year. However, the plan was put on hold when the MCO was implemented again.

The project involves an 18km stretch, marked with blue dashed lines on the extreme left lane of several roads in the administrative capital, including Persiaran Timur, Persiaran Utara and Lebuh Sentosa.However, the plan was put on hold when the movement control order due to the Covid-19 pandemic was implemented again, and cycling was not allowed.

“Several workshops and discussions were held with cycling associations and event organisers in the Klang Valley to ensure the planned facilities would fit the needs of the sport. Muhammad Azmi said PjC was also working with Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia on another bicycle lane leading to the latter’s offices in Precinct 3 to encourage people to cycle to work.In November last year, Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa announced the plan to convert underused motorcycle lanes in Putrajaya into bicycle lanes in a bid to make it a cycling-friendly city.

“At the same time, much importance must be given to educating cyclists about cycling ethics and motorists about road-sharing,” he added. Irresponsible amateurs, he added, would often take up a few lanes when roads were empty, thus riling up motorists and giving other cyclists a bad name.“There is always a leader who knows about the road conditions and guide the group that usually does not exceed 20 cyclists.
