Sadly that's true. 
The local government can't even provide proper FIVE FOOT WAYS, let alone cycling lanes. When I took up mountain biking again, many folding bikers were telling me that's dangerous and extreme. In actual, there are many branches in mountain biking as well. I took the least extreme ones and that's cross country which usually try as much to ride on laterites, sandy trails or fire trails or even within plantation trails and off and on on tarmacs. This is actually much much safer than riding on our roads. In mountain biking if you fall, off course you will be hurt but usually not fatal, maybe bruises, that is off course you don't go try 4 or 5 foot jumps. In my case , it is just riding under more shady trees rather than hot tarmacs. Also no lorries or vehicles to look out for.
I will be moving to Taiping in the next few months and maybe in Taiping I will get another folding bike and will ride around the villages around there and also join the Penang cycling community for their outskirts ride. Imagine, my place is just 10 kilometers from Kuala Sepetang on the desolate road. I can have my breakfast in Sepetang daily, hahahaa.
Can't wait for the day.
They shud learn frm Sabah btw. Kota Kinabalu mostly have dedicated lanes for bicycle along the busy road,they even build lanes along the coastline at kk town.
