It is safe to cycle. There are many motor cyclists and cars and it is reasonably ordered for an Asian city. They take into account cyclists. The number of cyclists is limited, but increasing. Moreover, we mainly use bicycle-firendly ropads and alleys. With our tours a 2nd tour guide cycles at the back from 5 to 6 persons and up in one group. In addition we are clearly visible through the orange safety jacket and orange bicycles. It is important that you keep to the rules and signals of the guide. By the way, in KL they cycle on the left.
