Having A Flat Tire?


Having a flat tire while you're on the road in Indonesia?

No problem! Professional tire patcher like this is everywhere. For a small fee you can get your tire fixed in minutes. They do all kinds of tires too: car's, truck's, scooter's (motorbike's), tube and tubeless tires. Some of them even open 24/7.

This one is on the roadside of Jalan Amir Machmud, Cimahi, in the west of Bandung.

Looking For Tires


A motorist stopped by the roadside to inspect some tires offered at a mobile tire shop (vendor) at Jalan Cibeureum in the west of Bandung. Yes, it's the same shop/vendor whose photo I posted last Friday, (June 7, 2013).

Seorang pengendara sepeda motor melihat-lihat ban yang ditawarkan oleh seorang tukang tambal ban yang juga menjual ban dengan mobil boksnya di tepi jalan Cibeureum di sebelah barat kota Bandung.

Mobile Tire Patcher and Shop


About three hundred meters from the roadside "tire patcher" that I posted yesterday, I found this: another "tire patcher". This one is bigger. It uses a car and has a tire shop with it. And yes, it is parked on and is blocking the sidewalk. As I said in some earlier posts, Bandung is not a pedestrian-friendly city.

Sekitar tiga ratus meter dari tukang tambal ban yang saya posting kemarin, saya menemukan tukang tambal ban lain. Yang ini lebih besar, menggunakan mobil boks yang sekaligus difungsikan sebagai toko ban. Seperti pengusaha-pengusaha kakilima lain di Bandung, tukang tambal ban dan toko ban ini juga memanfaatkan trotoar sehingga menghalangi pejalan kaki dan berpotensi membahayakan keselamatan pejalan kaki. Kota Bandung adalah kota yang tidak ramah pada pejalan kaki.
