（檳城）檳城自行車文化協會成功注冊，一系列腳車活動即將推展！
主席陳峉僑前晚（15日）召開新聞發佈會時說，協會是於今年1月期間成功注冊，目前已經正在籌劃各式各樣的腳車活動，以鼓吹更多人加入騎腳車的行列，一起推行減碳運動。
他說，自去年開始，協會於每月的最後一個週日上午8時，都會定時舉辦“鐵馬古蹟行”，讓參與者一面騎腳車，一面認識喬治市的古蹟，即健康又知性。
第三個週六“貓頭鷹之行”
“除此之外，每個月的第三個週六，我們都會在晚上7時30分於新世界集合，然後展開‘貓頭鷹之行’，騎腳車穿過喬治市再進入植物園。”
他表示，平常時間，植物園是不允許腳車進入的，但經過洽商後，植物園當局特別批准該會在上述時間，帶領眾腳車騎士一起騎入植物園內。
“現階段，我們每場活動皆有50或以上的腳車愛好者一起參與。遇上特別活動時，參與者更達上百位，場面十分壯觀。”
感謝檳政府設置腳車標誌
他也提及，在各造的努力之下，越來越多人願意體驗騎腳車上路的美好感覺。他特別感謝檳州政府設置了腳車標誌，儘管這些標誌並非原先構想，但起碼開啟了帶動的功效，鼓勵更多人一起來騎腳車。
“我們還有一個很重要的任務，那就是喚醒汽車司機尊重腳車騎士，畢竟，公路是屬於大家的，不管是汽車、電單車、腳車以致行人，大家都有使用公路的權利。”
任何有興趣瞭解檳城自行車文化協會活動者，可上網瀏覽http://pcla/-pg.blogspot.com。若想加入該會每月例常活動者，諸如“鐵馬古蹟行”、“貓頭鷹之行”等，皆可聯繫該會活動主任陳文興報名，電話為：019-4090900。
值得一提的是，環保議員鄭雨週亦是協會的副主席，他幾乎都會出席每場活動，推行腳車運動可謂不遺餘力。星洲日報／大北馬‧2010.04.16

Dog’s eye view of ride
By MANJIT KAUR
WHILE over 200 participants took part in the monthly Penang Heritage Experience on Wheels in George Town, a little pomeranian was tucked comfortably in its owner’s ‘basikal tua’ basket, observing the buzz of activities around it.
Candy Chhung, 28, a designer, said this was her second time participating in the event with her four-year-old pet dog named ‘Xiao Hei’ which means ‘little black’ in Chinese.
“He loves outings. I made a little cap, a T-shirt and comfortable bedding for him in the basket,’’ she said.
Enjoying his outing: Xiao Hei sitting pretty in his basket, attended to by his owner Chhung.
The black pomeranian seemed to be enjoying the experience, looking left and right at those gathered at the Esplanade for the event.
The event held every last Sunday of the month was flagged off by state executive councillor Chow Kon Yeow, after which he also took part in the event, riding a classic bicycle.
Also taking part in the event were State Youth, Sports, Women, Family and Community Development Committee chairman Lydia Ong Kok Fooi and Tanjung Bungah assemblyman Teh Yee Cheu,
Penang Classic Bicycle Owners Club vice-president Cheng Kim Heng said about 20 club members took part in the event.
The 63-year-old man from Air Itam in Penang said the antique bicycles riden by the club members dated back to between 1906 and 1942.
Club member Seow Heng Dong, 60, said he modified his vintage bicycle’s frame so that his bicycle could look more attractive.
The ride, which started at 8.30am, ended at the New World Park at about 11am.
His pride and joy: Ikhwan showing his 'New Hudson Sport' bicycle.
The participants stopped at five heritage sites — Fort Cornwallis, Sri Maha Mariamman Temple, Cheah Kongsi, Kapitan Keling Mosque and St George’s Church.
The event ended at the New World Park where a Vintage Bicycle Show and Competition were being organised.
The cycling event was organised by the State Sports Council and coorganised by Penang Cycling Lifestyle Society and the Knights of the Round Table Club.

Beauties turning heads
By MANJIT KAUR
A CLASSIC bicycle enthusiast who cycled around the country in 23 days was among those who displayed his bicycle at a Vintage Bicycle Show held in Penang.
Nor Izam Abd Latif, from Batu Gajah in Perak, bought the bicycle for only RM30 from a bicycle shop.
He then forked out RM500 to refurbish his ‘basikal tua’.
Vintage part: Nor Izam Abd Latif showing the oil lamp fixed on his 'basikal tua'.
The 27-year-old said the accessories, especially the oil lamp and a leather bag, were expensive and difficult to find.
“I did not buy the bicycle just to keep it for show so early last month, I embarked on a bike journey around peninsular Malaysia,’’ said Nor Izam, a construction worker. His journey started and ended at Batu Gajah.
Some 50 vintage bicycles such as Hercules, Raleigh, Triumph and Rudge were put on display by owners from Penang, Malacca, Perak, Kuala Lumpur and Johor.
The show was opened by state executive councillor Chow Kon Yeow at the New World Park on Swatow Lane on Sunday.
Some 200 people, including Chow who participated in the monthly Penang Heritage Experience on Wheels earlier, stopped at the New World Park to admire the bicycles.
A family from Nibong Tebal, dressed up in clothes from the era of P. Ramlee, brought nine vintage bicycles for display.
The bikes dated between 1951 and 1960.
Jaafar Dahari, his brother Jasim Dahari, daughter Nabilah Jaafar and cousin Wan Yazli Yaacob were among the family members who dressed in olden-day costumes.
Classic models:(from left to right) Jasim Dahari, Wan Yazli Yaacob, Jaafar Dahari and Nabilah Jaafar posing with their 'basikal tua' during the Vintage Bicycle Show held at the New World Park in Penang on Sunday.
Another avid classic bike collector was Ikhwan Izam, 33, who dressed like a policeman in the 1940s.
He said he bought his bicycle for RM850 but spent about RM4,000 to purchase the original parts.
Ihkwan, from the Batu Berendam Antique Bicycle Club, displayed his ‘New Hudson Sport’ bicycle.
“I have been hunting for the bicycle parts all over the country and I was lucky that certain shops still actually had the spare parts,’’ he added.
His pride and joy: Ikhwan showing his 'New Hudson Sport' bicycle.
Earlier, Chow said a sub-committee held their first meeting on the plans for a dedicated bicycle lane in the state.
“I have yet to get a progress report from the committee led by MPPP president Tan Cheng Chui.
“The state government is aware of the needs of the cycling community and we will try to come up with the best solution,’’ he said.
PPB Hartabina Sdn Bhd senior manager Clarence Tan said the bicycles rekindled memories of the olden days.
“Those days, people enjoyed cycling which was perhaps the only mode of transport that was affordable to most.”

Mountain bike jamboree’s back
THE Kayuh Lasak Penang Mountain Bike Jamboree will be back this year after a one-year hiatus.
Penang Youth, Sports, Women, Family and Community Development Committee chairman Lydia Ong Kok Fooi said the event on Dec 5 and Dec 6 was expected to attract 700 cyclists from various countries.
She said its route would showcase Penang’s heritage sites through a cyclist’s perspective and promote Penang as a premier mountain biking destination.
“We want to promote cycling not only as a healthy sport but also as a fun and exhilarating activity, riding in a group.
“We hope more cyclists will join the event and view George Town and Penang Hill from a cyclist’s perspective,” she told a press con-ference at the Penang Sports Council’s office in Batu Uban recently.
Ong said the event was open to all levels of recreation riders, competitive mountain bikers, bicycle clubs, associations and individuals.
The highlight of the first day’s event will be a treasure hunt with participants having to answer riddles along the way, sightseeing on bicycle around George Town, absorbing famous sights and savouring local food.
Each team will consist of up to five cyclists.
Ong said the first three teams to complete the hunt with all correct answers would receive prizes.
On Dec 6, the event will take on a mixed trail around Penang’s tropical rainforest, off road, single track, uphill and technical downhill in the Penang Hill area.
The event is jointly organised by the Penang Youth and Sports Committee, Penang Sports Council and Kelab KOTRT Taman Perbandaran. It is aimed at encouraging sports tourism on bicycles.
Participants can register from Sept 1 to Sept 30. Those interested in sponsoring the event can contact Shamoon Shabudin at 012-4296363 or email shamlink9091@yahoo.com.

Committee to study plans for dedicated bicycle lane
PENANG has set up a working committee to look into the idea of a dedicated bicycle lane in the state.
State Local Government and Traffic Management Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow said the initiative was an “official step forward” to making the roads in Penang bicycle-friendly.
“We encourage anything to help turn Penang into an international city.
“There have been a lot of proposals and we want to give all of them serious consideration as they will push road users to acknowledge the rights of cyclists to share the road,” Chow said at a press conference recently.
He added that he would instruct Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) acting president Tan Cheng Chui to form the committee incorporating Public Works Department officers.
Tanjung Bungah assemblyman Teh Yee Cheu and Pantai Jerejak assemblyman Sim Tze Tzin who had both been involved in tourism-related bicycle activities are also involved in the committee, Chow added.
Pedal power: (From right) Teh, Chow Kon Yeow and Ong throwing their support behind the idea of a bicycle lane in Penang.
State Youth, Sports, Women, Family and Community Development Committee chairman Lydia Ong Kok Fooi, who was present, also announced that the state was endorsing a monthly Bicycle Joy Ride from G Hotel in Gurney Drive to Teluk Bahang.
“The event is organised by the G-Club Penang Cyclists who are a recreational group of cyclists in the state.
“It will be held every second Sunday of the month and is part of efforts to garner public support for dedicated bicycle lanes in Malaysia,” Ong said.
She added that the event would complement the Heritage Experience On Wheels event by the State Sports Council that took riders around the heritage enclave every last Sunday of the month.
