Cycling is regular people's sport in the country that President done regularly basis, long before he win President election at the end of 2014 ago when he was a Governor of Jakarta city. He preferred this sport instead of golf in order to close to regular people, talk and shake hand with them. So he knew what really matters not depend on formal reports, usually told a nice story.
More then decade ago, every early Sunday morning until noon wide road Jakarta city down town were car free day, the main road used for people sport, walking, running, biking. Two sides of the road used by Buses and private cars.
Some other time he visited another cities and took advantage of Sunday biking in crowded down town to greet local people and talk with them. The guards and security working hard to protect the President, but so far no treat wherever he was going.
