Indonesia is the largest archipelago nation in the world and is comprised of five main islands", Java (most populous), Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan and Irian Jaya as well as 17,000 other small islands (6,000 inhabited)," according to Infoplease http://www.infoplease.com/countries.  Each island has its own coastal and mountain regions", many which could serve as ideal potential Bicycle City, Indonesia, development locations.

A newly-found interest in conservation is in alignment with the goals of possible Indonesia Bicycle City development. Rich in native plants and wildlife, a number of conservation organizations have recognized the importance of preserving the indigenous character of the islands," according to Conservation International http://www.conservation.org.  The Nature Conservancy has joined with nine Indonesian and international organizations to establish the Conservation Training and Resource Center in Bogor http://www.nature.org. 

Attention to alternative fuel use is also a tie-in with potential Indonesia Bicycle City development. The country is investigating the use of biofuel crops such as palm oil", cassava, sugar cane and jatropha curcas to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and to help boost local economies," according to Orangutan Foundation International http://www.orangutan.org.

Indonesia has an equatorial climate with two seasons:  a dry season runs from June to September and a wet season from November to March"," according to Atlapedia http://www.atlapedia.com.
