Syarif said that bicycles are a very useful means of transportation for everyone. Because bicycles can be used by anyone, starting from school children, fathers, even mothers to go to a place in a healthy and environmentally friendly way.

"The bike is very beneficial, sister. So, for example, for elementary, junior high, and high school students, it may be used to go to school. And for mothers, it may be used to go to the market or to a place where fathers may go to work, and it is environmentally friendly and definitely promotes good health."

"Cycling is independent and hard work. Progress, speed, and velocity are produced by one's own effort, one's own body movement, without machines or the assistance of others,"

Jokowi stated, cycling is a representation of togetherness among body parts with diverse shapes, functions, and positions. By pedaling a bicycle, all body parts move.

"Two legs pedaling in harmony, eyes alertly looking ahead, hands gripping the handlebar while fingers cautiously pulling the brake lever," he explained. Cycling, he continued, moves forward in balance. If the road goes uphill, the body slightly bends. If turning right or left, the body adjusts accordingly. One thing remains constant, the cyclist's center of gravity is always in the middle."

"Cycling is for everyone, all ages, across ethnicities and civilizations," said former Mayor of Solo. Regardless of that, Jokowi stated that cycling is healthy and good for the environment because it is pollution-free. "That's why I am happy to share bicycles in every event and visit," said Jokowi."
