Bicycle

in #history6 years ago

Bicycle Ontel or also referred to as a camel bike, kebo bike, or pit pancal is a standard bike with 28 inch tires commonly used by urban communities until the 1970s. Ontel bicycle refers to a Dutch design bike characterized by upright sitting position and has a very strong reputation and high quality. Characteristic is a closed chain house. With a tooth that can not be changed and there is usually a dynamo on the front wheel to turn on the lights. This bike also features brake drum for braking. Bicycle Ontel is widely used in the Dutch East Indies. Then in the 1970s the existence of ontel bikes began to be shifted by a jengki bike that is more compact size of both the height and length and not distinguished design for male or female riders. At that time a fairly popular juke bike was a Phoenix brand from China. Furthermore, Bike jengki in the 1980s also began to be displaced by MTB bikes until now. Ontel bikes later in the 1970s were slowly being used more by rural people than in urban areas. But in the end due to age and scarcity, the onthel bike has turned into an antique and unique. Start the turning situation, the previously discharged onthel bike, now in the 2000s actually hunted back by all circles ranging from students, students to officials. The Javanese say this is "wolak-waliking era". People's avidity towards onthel bikes is right along with the growing threat of global warming.
