“I received a message the morning (06.00) of my pick-up saying I would now have to walk to a new point by 0.700. We drove past my original pick-up on the way to the start. Bikes were antiquated, dirty and badly maintained. It took 3 attempts to get a bike that was safe. Bike ride not worthy of note.”

Private half-day tour of Kuala Lumpur temples and mosques, including Batu Caves, Masjid Negara, Thean Hou, Sikh stops, and Chinatown.
