Jakarta (B2B) - Gubernur DKI Jakarta, Joko Widodo memulai aktivitas pergi bekerja naik sepeda. Rencananya, gubernur yang akrab disapa Jokowi akan menerapkan kebijakan naik sepeda ke kantor setiap hari Jumat kepada warga DKI Jakarta.
"Setiap Jumat, saya akan naik sepeda," kata Jokowi di Balaikota, Jakarta Pusat, Jumat (1/11).
Dia meninggalkan rumah dinas gubernur di Jl Taman Suropati, Menteng, Jakarta Pusat pada pukul 06:30 WIB. Jokowi didampingi belasan orang yang merupakan bagian dari anggota komunitas Bike to Work menuju Balaikota.
Jarak perjalanan sekitar 2 km, dia tempuh dalam waktu 30 menit. Saat itu, gubernur mengenakan kaos putih dipadu kemeja batik kuning.
Jokowi mengaku dia merasa tidak nyaman dengan ketatnya pengawalan dari bagian protokol. Dia juga akan berinisiatif untuk memantau kondisi Jakarta tanpa harus didampingi pengawalan.
"Saya tidak ingin dikawal saat inspeksi di Jakarta. Saya lebih nyaman naik sepeda," ungkapnya lagi.
