Bike2Work Indonesia is a community group in Jakarta focused on promoting cycling as a sustainable transport option.

Bike2Work Indonesia is a community group in Jakarta that advocates for cycling as a sustainable mode of transportation. The organization, founded in 2004 by Toto Sugrito, has grown to include over 130 chapters across Indonesia and more than 5,000 members in Jakarta. The group works to promote cycling as a solution to Jakarta's severe traffic congestion and air pollution problems. Despite the city's challenges, including dangerous traffic conditions and a lack of cycling infrastructure, Bike2Work Indonesia continues to push for change, drawing inspiration from successful examples like Bogotá, Colombia. The organization highlights the need for better cycling infrastructure, bike-sharing facilities, and public awareness to make cycling a more viable option for daily commutes. While progress is slow, there is hope that with continued efforts, Jakarta can become a more cycle-friendly city, reducing reliance on motorized transport and improving the quality of life for its residents.
