Any rebates for a bicycle?

You've heard it on the news. 5k rebate to dispose your old car and get a new one. This is...ahem...the only way to save the malaysian economy?

Here's a better idea, why not give rebates for people wanting to commute using bike as well? In fact RM 5000 could buy you 10 bikes if each cost 500 each. 5k in fact could get you a super good branded road bike.

Ever wonder why Malaysia has so many cars, and yes, you get stuck in traffic all the time? Each year, car sales has been on the rise, with figures up to 500,000 cars sold each year. The first time I heard it from my friend, I was shocked. I knew Malaysia cars sales is high but it couldn't be this high.

I had just stumbled a nice site promoting cycling commuting. Now don't complain about the heat and humidity if these guys cycle during the winter.

Cars does have it's function, but we ought not to think of using cars each time we want to travel in our neighborhood. In fact, if you are bold enough, cycle to work. Get those heavy duty back pack to store your laptop and other items. You'll appreciate the travel instead of sulking behind a car that says "I got better things else to do instead of getting stuck in traffic". The irony is You are part of the problem.
