Jakarta on Two Wheels
Live Simply Part II.
The second one in the series of our bike videos, this surely will not be the last one.
This video is made on two different bicycles: a fixed gear and a long-haul-trecker.
Speaking of living simply, a fixed gear bicycle is based on this very same principle. No gears and often with no brakes as well, fixed gear bicycle is popular among the messenger community in North America especially New York and San Francisco.
In Jakarta, the fixed gear community keeps growing by the day! Check them out here or come and say Hi to them every Sunday at Bunderan HI or every Wednesday night at Taman Menteng. (Don’t be intimidated by their looks. They’re a very friendly bunch)
Footnote: watch closely and you may caught a glimpse of my three-year-old in this video.
