LA VUELTA DEL MUNDO · TRAVEL & KNOWLEDGE

Malaysia by bicycle

Malaysia brings together Islamic, Indian and Chinese cultures, modern life and traditions in a single country.

Travelling by bicycle

The country is very advanced and modern, has good infrastructure, and almost the entire population speaks fluent English. These advantages come with very low prices, and it is often the case that cyclists or touring cyclists pay nothing at all. Sport is extremely popular, and sportspeople are much appreciated and welcome visitors in Malaysia. Cycling has developed rapidly, especially in West Malaysia, and at weekends you often ride with local people or in groups.

Cultures and landscapes

The Malay, Chinese and Indian populations live in mutual respect and harmony. These three cultures also offer three different culinary experiences that you can and should enjoy during a cycling trip. The coastal regions, especially the east coast, are particularly recommended for their scenery.

Cities and the Cameron Highlands

Cities such as Melaka, Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Alor Setar should not be missed. One highlight is the Cameron Highlands with their tea plantations. Malaysians are very hospitable and helpful, and if you speak English, communication is practically never a problem.
