Traveling with Bikepacker Indonesia
Traveling with Bikepacker Indonesia
Novriyadi
Traveling inexpensively and healthy, is to ride the bike!
Photo: Doc. Bikepacker IndonesiaIndonesia is a country
that is known to have so many outstanding natural beauties, with not a
few forests that are still virgin; the mountains are also beautiful
though sometimes they threaten with their activeness, and the dazzling
blue seas with stunning coral reef gardens. Overall they are the charms
that have strong magnet, which have made a lot of tourists from foreign
countries came to visit, and even some were willing to settle down.

From all
the matters, then comes the community of Bikepacker Indonesia (BPI),
which is the community that likes to travel by bicycle. Why bicycle?
Well, due to cycling, the community members feel it will make them
become closer to nature that they enjoy much. "With cycling, we could
actually have direct contact with nature, of which we enjoy much. This,
of course, will be different if we are traveling by car," said Hendra
Revellino, one member of Bikepacker Indonesia.
Photo: Doc. Bikepacker IndonesiaThis
community was established on April 14, 2009. Starting from a cycling
hobby of one of them, namely Daus, then popped the idea to create a
special community of traveling by bicycle, as the means of
transportation. Then, over time, this community has also grown and
evolving, and their members have become more and more - which consist of
various professional backgrounds. "Our members in Jakarta alone, at
this time, have reached up to 400 people," said Hendra.

Like the
backpacker's way of life in general, this community also tries to
minimize costs while traveling. The tricks are, by doing a wide range of
efforts. Starting from the use of public places to rest, such as
mosques, gas stations, even police stations, up to bring along their own
food supplies, in order to save expenses. "In addition, to reduce
expenditures, we also often stay with our friends around the visited
area," said Herman.
Then,
where are the areas that they have visited? Well, it turns out to be
quite a lot. Because, almost all regions in Indonesia have been visited
by them. Starting from Sumatra, Komodo Island, to Borneo; mostly have
been 'conquered' by them. And incredibly, the came to all of these areas
by their bicycles. Whoaa, aren't they tired?
"If
talking about tired, it is tiring for sure, but the thing is, the
fatique will certainly be relieved when we see and enjoy the beautiful
scenery," Herman explained.
Photo: Doc. Bikepacker IndonesiaAccording
to Herman, BPI also has several annual and monthly programs, such as
'Bikepacker Pulang Kampung' ('Bikepacker Homecoming', ed.), which they
usually do ahead of the Eid al-Fitr Day. In the homecoming activities,
they also provide information about the routes that are safe for
traveling by bicycle.
So, if
you are someone who likes the adventure - thus, also like cycling, you
should join the Bikepacker Indonesia community, and enjoy the exciting
adventures with fellow members here. Well, what are you waiting for?

Bertualang Bersama Bikepacker Indonesia

Berwisata yang murah dan sehat, ya berwisata dengan menggunakan sepeda....
Foto: Dok. Bikepacker IndonesiaIndonesia adalah negeri yang dikenal memiliki begitu banyak keindahan alam yang luar biasa,tak
sedikit hutannya yang masih perawan, gunung-gunungnya juga indah meski
selalu mengancam dengan keaktifannya, serta lautnya yang biru mempesona
dengan taman-taman terumbu karangnya yang menakjubkan. Semuanya itu
adalah pesona yang memiliki magnet yang kuat, yang membuat banyak turis
dari manca negara berbondong-bondong datang, dan bahkan tidak sedikit
yang berkeinginan buat tinggal dan menetap.Foto: Novriyadi/TNOLNamun
sayangnya, keindahan alam Indonesia itu justru malah lebih banyak
dinikmati oleh turis mancanegara. Karena turis-turis lokal alias turis
domestik, mereka justru malah lebih memilih berlibur atau menikmati
pemandangan alam di luar negeri. Ironis sekali. Yang dari luar
berdatangan, sementara tuan rumahnya malah pergi keluar.
Berangkat
dari keprihatinan tersebut, maka lantas muncullah komunitas Bikepacker
Indonesia (BPI), yakni sebuah komunitas yang gemar berwisata dengan
menggunakan sepeda. Kenapa sepeda? Karena dengan bersepeda, mereka
merasa justru akan membuat mereka jadi lebih dekat dengan alam yang
mereka nikmati. ”Dengan bersepeda kita justru bisa bersentuhan langsung
dengan obyek wisata yang kita nikmati. Hal ini tentu berbeda jika kita
berwisata dengan menggunakan kendaraan,” kata Hendra Revellino, salah
satu anggota Bikepacker Indonesia.
Foto: Dok. Bikepacker IndonesiaKomunitas
ini berdiri pada 14 April 2009. Berawal dari hobi bersepeda salah satu
dari mereka, yakni Daus, lalu tercetuslah ide untuk membuat komunitas traveling
yang khusus menggunakan sepeda sebagai alat transportasinya. Kemudian,
seiring dengan berjalannya waktu, komunitas ini pun kian bertumbuh dan
berkembang, dan anggota mereka pun semakin banyak – yang terdiri dari
berbagai latar belakang profesi. “Anggota kita yang di Jakarta saja,
saat ini, berjumlah 400 anggota,” kata Hendra.Foto: Dok. Bikepacker Indonesia
Layaknya cara hidup backpacker pada umumnya, komunitas ini pun mencoba untuk meminimalisir biaya-biaya di saat traveling.
Caranya, ya sudah pasti dengan berbagai macam usaha. Mulai dari
memanfaatkan tempat-tempat umum untuk beristirahat, seperti masjid, pom
bensin, ataupun kantor polisi, mereka juga biasanya membawa perbekalan
makanan sendiri, demi mengirit pengeluaran. “Selain itu, untuk menekan
pengeluaran, kita juga sering menginap di rumah teman-teman kami yang
ada di sekitar daerah yang dituju,” kata Herman.
Lalu,
daerah mana saja sih yang pernah mereka kunjungi? Kalau masalah ini,
jangan ditanya deh. Karena hampir seluruh wilayah di Indonesia telah
pernah mereka datangi. Mulai wilayah Sumatera, Pulau Komodo, hingga
Kalimantan, pernah mereka singgahi. Dan hebatnya, semua daerah-daerah
tersebut mereka datangi dengan menggunakan sepeda. Ck, ck, ck, apa tidak
lelah ya mereka?
“Kalau
pegel sih pastinya, tapi rasa capek itu pastinya akan terobati ketika
kita bisa menikmati indahnya pemandangan,” jelas Herman.
Foto: Dok. Bikepacker IndonesiaMenurut
Herman, BPI juga memiliki beberapa program tahunan dan bulanan,
seperti “Bikepacker Pulang Kampung”, yang kerap mereka adakan menjelang
Idul Fitri. Dalam kegiatan mudik tersebut, mereka juga kerap memberikan
informasi-informasi mengenai rute-rute yang aman untuk dilalui dengan
bersepeda.
Jadi,
kalau Anda orang yang gemar bertualang – dan suka bersepeda, sebaiknya
segera bergabung dengan Bikepacker Indonesia, dan nikmati
petualangan-petualangan seru bersama teman-teman sehobi di sini. Nah,
tunggu apa lagi? http://www.tnol.co.id/id/community/interestgroup/11761-bertualang-bersama-bikepacker-indonesia.html#.T3MGpTHVy3g
