Biking Like a Local in Gili, Lombok

By Hendra @tukangminggat

Located at around 45 minutes sailing by public boat from Lombok, Indonesia, there are three gilis (local language for island) we could visit, Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. And in these three gilis, we can feel the sensation of being locals who ride the bike to do their daily routine. Yup, no car, no motorcycle, no smoke. It’s just bicycle, fresh air and the pouring sweat. Three Gili as one of tourism site in Indonesia commit to be free air pollution area. In this island, Bicycle is the only vehicle which is allowed to pass by.

So much activities we can do when cycling. Exploring the island from the dock up to the sunset point, tracing each path while greeting the local, dropping by at some seashore cafes and taking a rest with  young and fresh coconut water directly from its shell could be exciting activities.
