“Share the Road” Campaign – A community Service Message to all road users

by BaikBiker | Posted on Friday, April 6th, 2012

In memory of many fallen or injured cyclists around the world, a group of concerned Malaysian cycling enthusiasts has come together and formed “Share Our Roads” Group.

Cycling is a popular sport for many; it is increasingly popular day by day. With the love of sport, many cyclists will ride their bicycles on the road which is also shared. Road is for everyone’s transportation usage, therefore we would like to bring up this “Share Our Roads” Campaign to the public to create awareness of safety distance among vehicles and cyclists.

A picture speaks a thousand words; let our voices all be heard. We have started a first of a kind Picture Petition campaign in conjunction with “Share Our Roads” message; trying to bring out the awareness to all road users.


We are seeking for more public support for our next Global Event namely: Ride of Silence. The mission of the Global Ride of Silence is to honor bicyclists killed by motorists, promote sharing the road, and provide awareness of bicycling safety. We are proud of placing Malaysia as one of the participating countries in the global event.

The group’s first event was during Earth Hour 2012, whereas the next event is the Global Ride of Silence /Kuala Lumpur. We are in the midst to do route planning with DBKL and will bring the plan to Bukit Aman for proper permits and licenses application for this event to increase the safety level for the participants; hence we shall expect more to join in with us.

There is an ever increasing number of vehicles on the road, it is very sad to see people lacking of common sense and do not have the sufficient knowledge to “Share our Roads” with other vehicle users. Hence, these recklessness has caused many unwanted incidences and accidents to happen which caused the loss of innocent lives.

Road is for everyone, therefore we would like to create awareness of  “Share our Roads” Campaign to highlight the safety distance between vehicles and cyclists.
