Ride Your Bike Away

Bike ride is now popular among travelers in Krui. When you are in the road, you will see many surfers riding their bikes to and from the surfs. Since the surfs are quite away from one another, you need to be quick in your move. Otherwise, you’ll left behind and find the surfs are packed with other surfers. Some surfers rent a car, but more rent a bike. Bike is a smart choice since it can take you right away after you get out of the water. You don’t have to dry your body and your clothes before you hit the road on it. And if the spot is far enough, then you’ll have your clothes dried when you get to your camp. Smart, right?  

Now more and more tourists ride a bike in Krui. Some ride their bikes alone. Some get their ass doubled at the back. Some double their girlfriends. Some others double their boy friends. Some of them are young. But some others are old. Some rides very well, while some others are just giddy riders. (But for you to know, male surfers prefer to ride their own bike than get doubled at the back because they are afraid that getting doubled on a bike too often will turn them into a gay.) (To find yourself a gay after your holiday is over is a nightmare, isn't it?)

Yes, bike is truly a smart choice. When you stay in Krui, you need one badly to get around. If you stay in Karang Nyimbur (where most surfers do), you need to move 5 km south to Way Jambu (the Sumatran Pipelines), 22 km north to Krui Left, and about one and a half hour drive (at least) to Jimmy’s, which all you can get by a bike.

Bike is not merely transportation. Getting to surfs by a bike is in itself a recreation, as well as a sensation. People who rides their bike to and from the surfs seem to enjoy themselves and happy. Riding a bike, you’ll get fresh air which can chill you out after you have a bad day (say that you knock your head to the reef, or you got a terrible wipeout in the waves, or your friends make an ugly face at you), and, on the other hand, you can feel the atmosphere of local way in getting around on your way to and from the surfs, at the same time.

And when you find the surfs are shithouses after riding your bike a long way, it's OK then. You get the ride, right?
