Is Malaysia ready for bicycle lifts?

How does a government encourage cycling when the roads are hilly and are difficult to climb? A Nordic country has the answer based on an amazingly simple physics principle. Not only does it aid cyclists, the system helps the older folks up the hill and can be used for other purposes too.

BH sent some pictures with the following comment:

Now, why can't we think of something practical like this for Malaysia? Our local authorities spend hundreds of thousands of ringgit for overseas educational tours and come back with nothing!





My comment: Judging from how pedestrians are being forced by shopkeepers and stalls to walk on the road, we should be lucky if our government can provide and enforce a dedicated cycling lane to encourage cyclists instead of motorists.

If any contraption is to be introduced it has to be more hightech and can be made to appear very expensive to make it worthwhile for politicians to consider.
