I have managed to cut down the material from the bike ride Nicholas and I did from Bangkok to Singapore.
When I can get to some great bandwidth I’ll upload the HD version.
On July 12th 2009 Nicholas Ward and Adam Teale left Bangkok Thailand and rode their bicycles south through Thailand and Malaysia, and after 2100km and nearly a month of riding, made it to Singapore
Here it is via Vimeo:

Hot day. More palm tree fields. Stinking hot.
The muggy air (which Nicholas and I are blaming on the Sime Darby palm tree plantations) finally turned to friendly smog and before we knew it we were in KL.
The city is big and we had to ask for directions a lot to find our home for the next few days down at Wheeler’s Guesthouse in Chinatown. 15RM/night – scored a great free dinner too!
Lots to see tomorrow!
Total KM: 75km
Another flat! This time Nicholas.
We spent most of today riding the highway through palm trees. Fields and fields of palm trees that spread into infinity, and then the occasional oil mill.
Kuala Selangor is quite cool though. It is close to the sea and i think is connected to it by a river?
You can come here to go on a tour to see the fireflies. We had Chinese for dinner instead.
Total KM: 100km
