Malaysian duo Gurdev Singh and Jack Chan kicked off The “Gurdwara Cycling Tour 2022”, as they set off across Malaysia on their bicycles to visit Sikh Gurdwaras nationwide, including Sabah and Sarawak.
“The idea of cycling and visiting every Sikh Gurdwaras around Malaysia was planned two years ago but when COVID 19 hit the shores the project was put on hold,” said Gurdev.
Gurdev Singh and Jack Chan who are amateur cyclists from Kuala Lumpur, will be cycling during the weekends as they plan to complete the project in stages over 12 months. Both Gurdev and Jack will use their folding bikes to fulfill their cycling mission.
“We plan to keep the ride 50km daily. For the first route, starting Saturday 7 May we will begin cycling from Tampin Gurdwara to Melaka Gurdwara (50km to be exact). We will cycle same route from Melaka to Tampin on Sunday 8 May,” said Chan.
The duo are cycling to create an awareness for teenagers and adults on the importance of cycling as a way to lead to a healthy lifestyle.
They would also like to convey a positive message to the younger generation to stay away from vice, alcohol, smoking and drugs through their self funded initiative.
