CRUISIN'

Ride review

A Green festive ride

What better way than to leave your car at home and celebrate the festivities without leaving any carbon footprint. Here's the story..

MICHELLE said she wanted to cycle from our home in Subang Jaya to my auntie Lorraine's house in Jalan Genting Klang.

"Let's cycle, do a car-free Chinese New Year visitation..," she added.

I thought it would be cool especially on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The roads are mostly clear.

We woke up a bit late, and prepped up our bikes to hit the road. Our plan was to utilize the Federal Highway bike lane to access Kuala Lumpur's downtown area and head to Setapak via Jalan Raja Muda Musa and Jalan Gurney.

Since it was the first day of the Chinese New Year, most food stalls that are owned by Chinese traders are closed.

With the exception of fast food joints like McDonalds and KFC, its literally a pain to find food during this holiday break.

We rode out to USJ7 where I knew that the Malay food court there would be open.

Our luck held as we treated ourselves to a plate of delicious mee rebus Johor.

The lady who ran this place remembered me and told me that she hasn't seen me around.

I must say that the noodles were a treat as we moved along towards the Federal Highway...
