A friend of mine just returned from Pontianak, Kalimantan. He was doing a research for 2 months on logging. He was really impress with the precision of indon cyclist. Thy use bicycle to drag batak (Sawn timber about 10" x 12" x 12') downhill, racing like mad and the timber behind is like a guided missile hard on your tail, one mistake and the timber will smashed onto you. And how they stop? they will reach a river at the foot of the hill, do a hard cornering then brake and the batak will crash into the river, mission accomplish! So anyone for the challenge?
