Cycling has always been a niche way for one to stay fit and travel, but cycling in the city comes hand in hand with multiple risks and dangers, especially in a bustling city like KL. This, however, didn't stop seasoned cyclist Jacky Hong when he decided to ride 18,000 km from Kuala Lumpur to London just in time to catch the 2012 Olympics. An adventurer, a blogger, and a father, Jacky gives us a first-hand account of his remarkable journey across the globe and all the places and people he encountered along the way.
