TVB Episode Highlights the Challenges of Cycling in HK
Pearl Report episode "Bikers Burden" reveals that HK has enormous potential for cycling but lacks Infrastructure and supporting government policy
Watch the episode here: http://programme.tvb.com/news/pearlreport/video/739/122004
Kudos to Eric Chan of the Tai Lam CP AFCD for being the lone government official to be interviewed for this show. You will also see a few members of the HKMBA team including Kenneth Lam, Steve Coward (aka bikesteve), and Pierre Le Magnan, owner of Chiru Bikes.
Riders will be happy to know that the MTR will let you take your bikes on their trains provided you remove your front wheel. Its an inconvenience as Martin Turner points out but it opens up the potential of safely exploring Hong Kong by bike.
Enjoy the show..
