Something old is not always useless. So it is with this one thing. Things that are part of the journey of technological development, from transportation to a recreational tool. It's a bicycle. Just look every week there must be 'Gowes together' event, 'Fun Bike' in various places. Bicycle back up.
Bicycles were not only as a means of recreation. For those who are either out of fashion, the reason for global warming or because of road congestion is forced to use this mode of transportation for daily activities. Exactly like its function when the bike was first introduced. One type of bike that goes back up is the onthel bike. Bicycles that were originally used in urban areas and then over the wastes of time wasted into the countryside and are now back hunted. Even old iron scrap is often valued expensive. Therefore the Pit Onthel (catalog) book which is one of the Lawasan series themes comes as a complement to hunters, collectors and onthel bike enthusiasts.
The interesting thing is we use the term 'bike' which is taken word velocipede (veloc = fast, pedis = foot). The Latin term used when a bicycle was invented in the 18th century in France. When the bike is a two-wheeled vehicle from wood. The front wheel is patent and only moves forward if the driver moves the foot forward (p.2). Meanwhile the Sundanese chose the word sapedah, while the Javanese called it a pit originating from Dutch, fiets (as the title of this book). Others in Aceh. There the bicycle is called keutangen or the debt of the angel or wind chariot.
