Cycling events became more popular especially more and more cycling events organized by group such as G Club http://www.gclub.com.my/ and car free day campaign (every Sunday at Beach Street) by State Government. The state government campaign 'Cleaner and Greener Penang' have encouraged more Penangites ride on bicycles to the road. This is a good sign and efforts for reducing carbon emission and fight global warming.

Another factor that drives Penang to achieve Cleaner and Greener city is the Street Art attractions around George Town. Many visitors just rented a bicycle and ride to the places where they can stop by and take photograph with the Street Art along the roads.

Penang Street Art

Some of the Penang streets suddenly become visitors focus and visiting spots. The Ernest Zacharevic is a Lithuanian street artist currently living in George Town, located in the province of Penang, Malaysia has changed the almost dying Penang street back to alive.


Wall painting news become headline of the Penang's major newspaper. It was a good start of Penang Heritage George Town with such a wonderful street art in placed in conjunction of George Town Festival. A city with Heritage, Historical, Arts, Unique Culture combine perfectly with the modern living, high rise buildings, streets food, lifestyle shopping malls and lovely beaches.


Visitors are able to see paintings portrait Penang's most simple, inmaterialistic, pure and natural living lifestyle. The bicycle with 2 children riding on it are among the most popular wall painting. It has attracted most attention of the visitors when come to Penang. It is located at the Chulia Street, nearby Khoo Kongsi the famous heritage building in Penang.  


Visitors are so excited and inspired of the wall painting. Most of the visitors enjoyed taking photos on it, some shown a wonderful smiles and acting in front of the pictures.

Another painting which is among the best wall painting is a young boy riding on a motorbike. 

Another one the biggest wall painting you ever seen in Penang, an old man lying on the trishaw! I believe Penang's street art managed to pull more visitors and you will see many visitors willing to ride on a bicycle just to search these wall painting along the Penang's Heritage sites. Great job Ernest Zacharevic !
