"Gertjan and Donal made sure I had the best cycling experience possible in Kuala Lumpur. Would definetely recommend the bike rental and tours to anyone interested in getting around the roads of KL. Everything was very fun, safe and well organized."
Kevin S.
"What a fantastic find #Five Bicycle Rentals and Tours were, I wanted to ride in KL during my week out there and Gertjan certainly delivered an exceptional experience for me, with both a Private guided ride and a club ride with around 15 other cyclists. Their kindness will not be forgotten and I look forward to heading out that way again."
