Questions 16 to 25

WHEEL LOVE
Our country has great roads and parks. It’s part of the reason why more Malaysians are getting on
their bikes. Here is why you should too!
Do you know that cycling does wonders to yourself? You will discover a new you once you start
cycling. Before you start, invest in a bicycle that best fits you. Ask yourself what kind of cycling you plan
to do and there is a bicycle to cater for your need.
A recumbent bike is great for hobbyist and is best used on flat roads only. If you are the
adventurous kind, then the mountain bike is the best as it has all the bells and whistles to tackle varied
terrain and slopes.
If you have developed road confidence and fancy leisurely long distance rides with an element of
sightseeing, the touring bike is the best as it is designed for comfort. On the other hand, an every day
bike will be the cruiser bike which you can use to nip around the neighbourhood or commuting within
the city.
Who knows, you might have set eyes on serious cycling competition in the stadium. Then, fixed gear
bike will be your choice.
Always wear a cycling helmet that has been adjusted to fit your head
and is secured tightly.
Don bright coloured clothing and reflective stripes so you are noticed
in low light conditions.
Get your bicycle fitted with a light on the front, a hazard light at the
back and reflectors on the wheels
Carry a water bottle to stay hydrated at all times. For easy access, get a
water bottle cage mounted on the bicycle frame
Ride in a single file when on roads open to motorised traffic
Always adhere to traffic light signals, traffic signs and road markings.
