Penang has some of the most beautiful hidden gems, landscapes, and towns, ready for you to explore on two wheels. Cycling is a breezy way to discover George Town’s heritage buildings and its famous street art, as well as to take in Balik Pulau’s stunning sights of kampungs, plantations, and fishing villages. Intrepid travellers seeking to spend a little time away from tourist spots can opt to cycle to Straits Quay or Queensbay on the scenic coastal lanes. If you are one for adventure, then the mainland’s cycling routes must be on your bucket list. Ride along the Butterworth Outer Ring Road (BORR), passing by large container areas and gigantic container cranes before heading to Frog Hill. Getting to the top of the hill requires going through rough and patchy terrains, but the sweeping vistas atop the abandoned mining site are worth the ride. Rent a bike, join a cycling tour, or use a bike-sharing system like LinkBike – either way, you’ll meet plenty of locals and see plenty of Penang’s diverse landscapes as you cycle at a leisurely pace.
