Jakarta - the traffic city or "rushin' roulette"

Here is the summary of the last week:

Feb-21/22: Zürich-Frankfurt-Singapore-Jakarta
Feb-23: Got used to the heat & started the training (1hr leg-forward-movement on bike & on X-trainer)
Feb-24: After a bad gym-move with leight-weights I suddenly suffered low-back pains
Feb-25: The low-back pain still hurt, got a massage with sauna, which was great
Feb-26/27: Recovering. Hardly moving. Swimming. More to come...
Biking will be a challenge in this city. :-> I read an article in the "Jakarta Kini" - the ex-pat newspaper: in Jakarta there are 80 deaths a day on the streets due to accidents. In comparison: there were 29 deaths per day in Germany back in 2000, Source: http://www.unece.org/stats/trends/ch6/6.9.xls. Considering the number of people living in Jakarta the risk might be even higher in Germany.
