Commuters in Indonesia’s capital are resorting to pedal power to beat the city’s notorious traffic jams.

But while cycling to work might seem like a healthy option, taking on the Jakarta’s chaotic roads is another matter.

That is why a small number of people decided to form the “Bike to Work” group to avoid the hassle of chronic traffic jams on the streets.
