During this corona, more people go biking. Local bike selling is also growing. But i just want to share about bicycle term in my language.
In Indonesia bicycle is called "sepeda" from French word "velocipede".
In my Javanese is called "pit" from Dutch word "fiet".
In Malay used in Malaysia it is called "basikal" from English word "bicycle,".
