World Car-Free Day & We Cycle, Board Train & Ferry to Pulau Ketam

We started from YMCA Brickfields and took a quieter route to the motor lane of Federal Highway. Here we were admiring the rain tree which are getting scarce with new development sprouting in the city.The road was wet after a short down fall but it did not damper us at all we were lucky indeed.Some of the friends waited midway near Subang Jaya.We had several short stops like this one along the motor lane, this was to ensure everyone is alright and no one is left behind.One of the many tunnels of the motor lane some could be dangerous as the lighting was bad. Justbecareful there are lot of speeding mototcycles, just take extra cautious.Mr. Sam Cheong was the one who organised this ride and he is well experienced in such event and and is veryfamiliarwith the route. Thanks to Sam Cheong.It was nice to know that Klang is appearing and looking forward for the food.
The weather was excellent the sun did not bully us and we reached Klang town sound and safe.
Approaching Littl! e India of Klang.Chong Kok Kopitiam, a popular coffee shop in Klang which is very near the train station.The kopitiam was packed and we couldn't wait for proper seats so we had ours at the verandah and it was fun eating this way.The crowd came for this food, Nasi Lemak so were we.....The wooden bucket where the steamed coconut milk flavour nasi was kept, this one was emptied the business was terribly good.We had to fold our bikes and bagged them in order to embark on the train (a must if you are travelling on train in Malaysia)A short wait for the train for Port Kelang at the platform and a good time to share and mingle with new friends.The train or known as "Kommuter" is new & clean which was a surprise to many of us. Well done and keep it up that way.Finally we reached Port Kelang and took a group photo here.It was a short walk from the train station to the jetty and the ticket is RM7.00 one way.Let's board the boat.The boat ride was fun and with friends cracking jokes here and there.It took about half an hour to reach the island from Port Klang.Upon landing on this island, we set up our bikes and were ready to roam the place. We were as if aliens with helmets on 2 wheels. The community loves it.This island is a unique island, a community of itself with all necessaryamenitiesand facilities of what a common community should be. And the basic mode of transportation here is bicyclesprobably99% of them.
Some of the scenery of our day adventure in this island.



Time to go back and wait for our boat at the jetty.There was no room for our bicycles in the boat and they had to be placed outside. Many of us were worried for our bikes while we were in the enclosed boat.Though our bicycles were in the carrying bags but it was also a bitstrenuoushopping from one transportation to another.Everyone had a good day and most of us for the first time experienced the combination of various transportations to Pulau Ketam without our cars.
My destination was Kuala Lumpur, the old KTM train station.
It was a memorable day and an enjoyable cycling day to Pulau Ketam.
