Bicycle and its main parts

Riding a bicycle is a great way to get around. Bicycles are quiet, fun to ride, and you don't need gas or electricity to make them go. You just use the power of your legs!
Bicycles have two wheels. One wheel is in front of the other. You swing your leg over the bike, sit down, and start pedaling. 
The heart of every bicycle is its frame. Most bicycles have frames made of thin metal tubes. The best frames are light and strong. A seat, called a saddle, is in the middle of the frame. You can make the seat higher or lower.
Bicycle wheels usually have wire spokes. Spokes help the wheel keep its round shape. Inflatable tires fit on the wheels. The wheels have breaks for stopping.
A bicycle has handlebars. You use the handlebars to steer and help you balance on two wheels. Most bikes have brake levers on the handlebars. You squeeze the levers to make the brakes work.
Pedals and a chain make a bike go. You put your feet on the pedals and push. The pedals go around and around. The turning pedals move a chain. The chain goes to the back wheel. The chain goes around a part called a cog. The moving chain makes the cog on the back wheel turn.
Most bicycles have a gearshift attached to the frame or the handlebars. Bikes usually have from 5 to 27 gears. Bicycle gears have a part called a derailleur. The derailleur shifts the chain to lower or higher gears. You use a lever to shift gears.
You use low gears for going up a hill. You use high gears for going faster, usually on flat roads or downhill.

OST (Original Soundtrack) of BROWNIES

"Bisa Saja" is choosen as the first single of the album and theme song of BROWNIES, since the lyric reflects the story in the movie.
Budjana of GIGI demonstrates his skills in playing acoustic guitar in "Cinta Terakhir". Three other brand new songs, "Dilema", "Jangan Bilang Pacarku" and "Semua Orang Berhak Mendapat Rasa Bahagia", give supporting nuances to the movie flow as GIGI composed them by imanaging how the scenes would look like based the screenplay.
When Hanung Bramantyo, the director and Dewa Budjana of GIGI chatted, Budjana expressed his interest in making a soundtrack album. Then, he recommended a few of GIGI songs, which the producer accepted because of the chemistry they created with the movie.
Since GIGI can provide a variety of colours to add all kinds of musical nuances to enrich the movie, the producer deemed it unnecessary to find other musicians to complete OST of BROWNIES.
Armand Maulana (vocalist), I Gede Dewa Budjana (guitarist), Thomas Ramdhan (bass player), and Gusti Erhandy (drum-stand-in-player for Budhi Haryono) put a lot of effort into this album. As a result, they've created perfect blend of movie and songs that makes BROWNIES tastier.
It's always fun to have a piece of brownies in your mouth. But having it in your stereo set is more entertaining. No movie is perfect without musical score and OST of BROWNIES has proved it excellent.  

The Transportation

Some people think transport is very helpful. People think it is good because it moves us around. It takes us to places we can't reach on foot. It helps people to meet and say 'hi' to each other. Transport can move people quickly. Transport is more comfortable than walking. It will carry object and people at the same time. It can help by saving our own energy. Some people think transport is bad because it can pollute the air or have oil leaks. It can easily kill people in accidents. Tranport is sometimes very noisy. It can cause traffic jams. Sometimes it causes stress, frustration and road rage. It also uses up our natural resources. Transport will be perfectly good if we are careful.
