While some find the constant revision of standard operating procedures (SOP) under the various definitions of lockdown in Malaysia confusing, some good news at least for cyclists. Under Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the National Recovery Plan (NRP) announced July 19, cycling and other individual sports is now allowed with a minimum two- to three-meter separation distance but only in the neighbourhood.
This is an activity clamoured for by many in the cycling community, notably after police came out to say cycling as a sporting and recreational activity was forbidden under the Movement Control Order 3.0 (FMCO) SOP. However, cycling to work was allowed under the FMCO enforced from June 1 to June 14, with all outdoor recreational activities, including walking and jogging, then forbidden under further extension of the order.
The Malaysian transport sector also sees a relaxation in the SOP, with ports, airports and logistics sector permitted to operate around the clock. Meanwhile, business premises are permitted to operate from 6.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m., including speciality stores such as petrol stations.

Now is Safe to cycling. becuz Kovid virus went Balik kampung…
Let’s just go by science ok? Is there any evidence that solo cycling can transmit the virus? The answer is an overwhelming no! Its a valid form of healthy exercise for a lot of us, especially if you are older and can no longer run.
Exactly. solo cycling can transmit the virus last week, deswai not allowed. Solo cycling kenot transmit virus this week, Deswai allow. Stupidity bodo really at its best LOL! when u got Low class mendset lokal Mentri, low class nasi lemak SOP.LOL
many cyclist like me who spend their money on their high-end bikes do not cycle around the neighbourhood. Each cycling session we do about 100km and we don’t do that around the neighbourhood.
Then cycling should also adapt to the “new norm”. Time to learn how to cycle around your neighbourhood.
good for u bro, please continue to cycle your expensive bike at home.
Problem starts when people congregate. That’s why they are discouraging it. Honestly, am a cyclist too but no choice, guess have to do many rounds in the neighbourhood to make up the mileage. Sigh….
By the way, not many will do 100km ride alone!!! Lol
Like Proton said: “Worth waiting for”
but don go cycling in a group also la
No 1 revised plan in the world.
Evolution is all about revision. Nothing is fixed
low number of cases, cannot go cycling.
High number of cases, can go cycling.
Go figure.
I ride too but – commonlah, how many cycle alone? How many jogs alone? Or can cycle alone without being around others? When we cycle or jogs inline behind an asymptomatic covid19 carrier, there’s a high chance we will get it when he coughs or sneezes because both of us didn’t wear masks and it’s scientifically proven that it happens. Look at Panda or Grab gangs by the road side. No masks no sop no one cares no polis saw.
good for u bro, please continue to cycle your expensive bike at home.
Does this apply to Damansara area? Sorry I’m so confused now.
