The Gnarliest Guy in Traffic
Right there in the thickest honk & roar of Jakarta traffic, scalding tailpipe to burnished bumper, smack in the haze of unfiltered engines & tropical heat, pedaling apace with taxis, bajai, SUVs, 2, 3 & 4-person motorcycles that waddle, dart & swarm like beetles is a BICYCLIST.
This bule is gnarly. He is not kidding around: this is how he travels in Jakarta & I'll bet he's never slower than the cars & motorcycles. From head to tread, he's fully outfitted with high tech gear: a nice bike & compact pack, expensive biking shorts & short sleeved top, gloves & shoes, the works. All of it black.
More: where other rich men have tinted windows on their Mercedes, this guy wears wrap-around black sunglasses, a formidable black helmet, & a full-on GAS MASK. Even that looked kind of swank.
By the look of his thighs & his gear he's been at this shtick a long time, all of it coated in a film of gray.
