Ministers join fun bike

JAKARTA (JP): Three cabinet ministers will pedal their way around the capital along with approximately 10,000 participants in a noncompetitive "fun" bike race held to boost the national energy saving campaign this Sunday.

Minister of Information Harmoko, Minister of Mines and Energy Ida Bagus Sudjana and Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Hayono Isman are expected to lead the cycling festival organized by the Sadar Energi (Energy Awareness) Foundation.

"Through the fun bike race, we call for the stoppage of inefficient energy use in industry, transportation and households throughout the country," committee chairman Hasbi Armia said. (amd)
