Here's a good thing you need to know: Bike Commute Malaysia is a grassroots organisation of commuter cyclists and urbanists that has been advocating for safer street designs that support low carbon commuting options. Besides organising "bike kitchen" workshops, they are involved in promoting safe streets for school children and vulnerable groups. Justin Lee joins us, to talk about the work that him and his team do, and his vision of a Malaysia with safe and equitable streets.
