Life at APRIL: Cycling Club

It was 2016 when a few employees of Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper (RAPP) realized that were all doing the same thing every day – taking their bicycles to work.

With a shared love for their two-wheeled vehicles, they soon grouped together to form the Riau Complex Cycling Community (RCCC). Today, there are 70 members in the club, whose ages range from 25 to 50.

Agung Haryanto, the leader of RCCC, says that the RAPP Complex provides a safe environment for employees to cycle, be it for leisure or to work.

The RCCC organises routine gatherings every weekend, where members go on 20km rides or simply ride around their residential areas together.

Several club members also compete in cycling competitions at the provincial level, organised by the Indonesia Cycling Sport Union (ISSI).
