CYCLING is not only a healthy activity but it is also fun when done together with friends and family. Cyclists who took part in the NST-Cyberjaya Green Ride last Saturday, talk about their favourite hobby here.
AYMAN HARYTH MOHAMED JOHAN
Ayman, 9, loves to go cycling with his siblings and cousins. The Year Three pupil of Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Midah, Cheras, usually cycles at Taman Tasik Permaisuri, near their home, during the weekend. Together with his siblings and cousins, he always looks forward to participating in fun rides.
“We feel excited whenever our parents take us to join leisure rides where we can see new parks and experience new challenges,” he said.
HASSAN BUSRAH
Hassan Busrah and his four sons love going for leisure rides. The 68-year-old pensioner from Port Klang says cycling is a family tradition — it strengthens bonds and helps them keep fit. More importantly, it’s a way for them to show their passion and creativity, he says.
During the Green Ride event, Hassan and his fourth son Ezafel Effendi, 33, rode on a tandem bicycle designed by Hassan, who is also an avid collector of classic bicycles. The two-wheeler, with the theme Malaysia 50 Tahun, coincided with the event which was held to celebrate Malaysia Day. The duo were dressed in cream-coloured baju Melayu to reflect the theme.
“When we join any cycling event, my sons and I usually come up with specially decorated bicycles and wear interesting outfits as well. It’s our family’s way to catch up, have fun and keep fit, physically and mentally,” says Hassan, who is also a member of Port Swettenham Classic Bicycle Group.
TAN GHEE BENG
Tan from Kota Damansara took part in the fun ride to instil healthy values in his family of three. The 38-year-old IT executive carried daughter Xin Yi, 2, on a carrier during the ride.
“My wife, Lee Wai Mun and I have been cycling or running marathons for relaxation and to maintain our health. I see fun rides in a natural green environment like this as the perfect way to instil good values in my daughter. I want her to be in contact with nature and to understand the importance of health from young,” he says.
IZMAN ADNAN
Izman, 32, joined the leisure ride with six colleagues from the Cyberjaya Fire And Rescue Department, mainly to relax and enjoy the beautiful landscapes.
“I find it an exciting way for us to strengthen our camaraderie and meet new people, especially within the Cyberjaya community. It’s a simple and healthy way to take a break from our work commitments. I find the experience very pleasant and I’ll definitely get more colleagues to join us soon,” he said.
