Motorcycles are fuel efficient. However, motorcycles can be more dangerous than cars, as the recent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)’s report says motorcyclists are \(30\) times likely to die in an accident than people in a car.

Below are some tips, especially for new riders to stay safe on two wheels.

Buy motorcycle that fits you.
When shopping for a motorcycle, start with one that fits you. When seated, you should easily be able to rest both feet flat on the ground without having to be on tiptoes.

Invest in antilock brakes.
Now available on a wide array a models, antilock brakes are a proven lifesaver. IIHS data show that motorcycles equipped with ABS brakes were \(37\%\) less likely to involved in a fatal crash than motorcycles without it.

Use your helmet.
Although, helmets are an emotional topic for some riders, they give you optimal protection.

Wear the right gear.
Jeans, a T-shirt, and sandals are recipes for a painful disaster on a motorcycle. Wear yourself jeans, helmet, jacket, gloves and boots for your life safety.

Avoid bad weather.
Slippery conditions reduce your margin for error. Rain not only cuts your visibility but also reduces your tires’ grip on the road. This can make cornering tricky.

Before riding, do a quick walk-around to make sure your lights, horn, and directional signals are working properly.

Jakarta Post, Friday June \(27\), \(2014\).

The Sleeping Beauty

According to the city managers of Old Town (Kota Tua), there are hundreds of heritage buildings in Kota Tua, owned by state-owned companies, private companies, and individuals.

The area itself dates back to \(1619\), when construction began on Batavia as Jakarta was called then.

The Dutch colonizers chose the name Batavia to honour their ancestors. At the time, the city was centered east of the Ciliwung River, around what is now Fatahillah Square.

Due to the city’s beauty, Batavia was called Koningen van Oosten (the Queen of the East) by European Sailors.

Candrian Attahiyat, the former Head of Cultural Heritage Conservation Unit of Old Town management agency, explained the turn of events.

Candrian says that almost \(80\%\) percent of old Batavia’s buildings have been razed, with the exceptions of the Wayang Museum, erected in \(1640\) as a Dutch church; the Fatahillah Museum, previously the VOC Governor General’s office; Galangan Cafe, a former VOC warehouse; Toko Merah, the once-residence of the Governor-General; and the Fine Art and Ceramics Museum, once the Dutch court.

Work to rejuvenate Old Town has been underway since \(1905\). Acting governor says that the Old Town is so precious that it has to be revitalized soon in a project involving all stakeholders.

It won’t be easy, however. Traffic remains a problem, as does flooding. Currently, the Old Town is like a sleeping beauty, awaiting a kiss to bring it back to life.

A. Fine Art and Ceramics Museum, Wayang Museum, Toko Merah, Galangan cafe, Fatahillah Museum.
