The Urban Country‘s mission is simple. We publish 2-3 quality articles per week to advocate for using bicycles as transportation in North America to improve our cities, our people, and the world.
The Urban Country has appeared on Guardian UK Bike Blog, National Public Radio, CBC Radio One, the Globe & Mail, the Toronto Star, Seattle’s The Stranger, The Daily Beast and is frequently featured on Treehugger.com.
The Urban Country is for people who are tired of being herded like cattle and who are looking for a more efficient, stylish, healthy and fun way to get around the city. People who ride bicycles are tired of subsidizing motorists while being treated as second-class citizens in North America.
To-date,what I have observed so far in Malaysia,we are promoting cycling as a sport and recreation activities and not as a means of urban transportation.Anyway,the awareness of cycling as a sport activity is catching up all over the country and I am very happy to be part of it.I started active cycling in Putrajaya way back in 2008 and MTB at FRIM.
Aomsterdam is leading the way on urban cycling but Paris,London and New York are right behind them.My country Malaysia?Most of us are still tolerating daily jams to work and the government have yet to embark on anything serious for cycling traffic.May be we need another 10 years from now..By the time,if I am still around,I just wonder whether I can still cycle..
To those who concerned about public transport,I still believe it can work in Malaysia especially solving the last mile problem.
