I think it is hard for a bicyclist to survive there. The terrain there is
too open, that one can see any object from distance. However it might be
good for press use, as a friend of mine asking me whether she take her bike
there, or not. From the situation I have read, I don't know how anyone dress
to be consider neutral. (Australian lead UN is as hated as the Indonesian
Army).

Brox, the workbike).
