Normally, I try to keep the blog posts about bike rack to one city per, but considering this is all of blog post number 10 or something - I think my rule can be broken fairly easily!So. Jakarta had a plethora of bike rack to choose from.I'm not even really sure you can call most of it real bike rack, but I'm going to be writing about it anyway.
Let's start with the most innocuous type of bike rack they had - the candy-striped (OK, I guess in the Indonesian flag colors, but it did make me long for peppermint candies) non-lethal sort.
Non-lethal, you ask?
You'll have to stay tuned to the blog for the various bad-ass bike rack variety. Trust me, the range of bike rack with lethal spikes blew my mind.
I will say that I neglected to take a photo of the rigged lethal version, which was made of ordinary bike rack wrapped in barbed wire. WTF kind of crowds are you dealing with, Jakarta?
Oh, right. The kind that stops traffic and parties and/or protests
on buses. Well then, carry on.
My driver was not entirely sure if these were football (soccer to us Americans) fans or protesters, but was leaning on the side of football. Judging by how packed that bus is, I'm guessing that there were already people on the roof, partying and/or protesting or not.
Anyway, more Jakarta bike rack coming up in a blog about bike rack near you.
For multiple bike rack variety:
THREE bicycles out of FOUR bicycles.
THREE bicycles out of FOUR bicycles.
I forgot to mention, that this bike rack (if you look closely) - is ACTUALLY racking bikes in the back.
