About this audio guide
This guide to Penang's Kids on Bicycle mural in George Town traces the frozen scene of two children caught mid-ride, and the artist behind it. In April 2012, a young Lithuanian artist named Ernest Zacharevic was sketching near the Goddess of Mercy Temple when two local children climbed onto his bicycle, far too big for them. He grabbed his camera as one laughed and the other clung on, terrified.
