its very cheap
but the shipping will cost you a lot then the bike itself

what you see on IG was a modified version from this original,,i don't think it's worth it tho!

@liong71er give us an address to send you shoes for those kids...
i gave them some money already,after i took the picture
it's going to be thousands of kids in just one village,and yes as you see
some if not most of them don't wear shoes daily except maybe when they go to school
and thats the only time they wear shoes
not daily,they either wear a sandal or barefoot it's common in the villagers

Thank you for the kind gesture as you were always been!

Did a long ride yesterday 93 miles
was planning to get a century,here's a couple things to mention regarding riding bicycle in my regions,west java on the north side,
riding around the City near where i live is not good in term of Air Quality,the air is heavily poluted,from Industry and from locals burning their trash or garbage, also my peoples have bad habits littering and dumping this is a huge problem for my country
i don't think this bad habits will soon change not in my lifetime..
so,to get change scenery and to get fresh air i would've to riding far away from city to nearest mountains wich is about 50miles away or get up to higher elevations.

so,thus i did that on yesterday's ride to get some fresh air
you guys are blessed and lucky to be able get up every day and breath fresh air everyday from your front door,believe me when i tell you this

although not every state in Indonesia has bad air or poluted,there's more others state that are not only beautiful but also clean and fresh air
but,not in my city or province

but,nonetheless Indonesia is beautiful country
green lust forest,you will have summer all year long
no more shoveling your driveway or freeze to dead?
anyway,each to his own..

so,i must say i missed riding in states a lot
but that's in the past now
life is where i'm at now and i'm going to enjoy it no matter what.

here's some of the pictures from yesterday

most colours of the rivers are look like coffe with cream,if you ever visiting Mississippi river in missouri it's exactly like that,the sediment is mixed of sand and muds,the sand are abundant along this rivers lots of illegals sand miners can be found here.

lots of switchback like this and it's very steep more than 20%gradient highest than switchbacks in Minnewaska state park in upstate new york,it doesn't looks that steep from this picture but boy..i have a hard time to climb it..

notice this highway doesn't have shoulder,yes..it's a norm here,this highway consider as an State Highway,lots of twisty sharp turn and it's not long and gradually climbs but straight up climbs,this ris mountainous regions and lots of hot spring too
most of it are commercial hot spring,and there's almost no State Park can be found although it has National Park but no State Park like in US

see that motorist?
and that's a very steep descend or climb
and also roads conditions are bad lots of potholes and when it's dark,,it's pit black
completely dark,,so scary lots of wildlife very danger.

@liong71er Your positivity and willingness to adventure gives us all something to strive for. Safe travels on those tight roads.

The Waterfalls around my regions are scattered almost everywhere,it's becomes tourist attraction and the locals collect fees to entered,there is no state park but we does have national park

so,on today's ride
i went and checking it out after googling on the net
it's only 25miles from where i live,

i'm also wanted to show you guya what dilemma for us in this world we lliving,and i'm so ashamed of the behaviors of my peoples,,every time i met local peoples,i informed them and gave them some insight of the trash and waste problem,
but,from my own observation
this is no easy task or simple solutions
infact i'm skeptical those problems will ever solves,

so,i'm going to show you two different videos
first one is the locals utilizing the rivers

and the second is the waterfalls and the main problem (garbages,litters,thrash,and waste)

the locals using rivers as their daily needs
washing clothes,taking bath and taking dump,men women,young and old..
