I Love Riding in the City

Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. In west Jakarta, to be precise. The traffic here is very crowded. And it’s different in every part of Jakarta. In the west especially, cars and motorcycles are everywhere and traffic jams every morning until 10 pm. Everybody spends hours in the street just to reach their destination. Riding a bicycle here in Jakarta is the best way to kill the traffic jam.
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
Definitely Jakarta. Where the streets are the jungle.
Why do you love riding in the city?
The thrills. In Jakarta street jungle law, motorcycles beat cars, bicycles and even pedestrians on the sidewalk. It’s crazy! They’re everywhere and very rude. I ride a track bike and brakeless in Jakarta, I love riding my bike here, it gives me the most thrills I have ever had because when riding in Jakarta you never know what will happen in front of you. The motorcycle, the busses, the Bajajs (the orange three wheel vehicle) only God knows when will they make a turn.
Or just say whatever you want about riding in the city.
Ride your bike wise and ride safe with helmets and maybe a brake.
