Abstract:
The Bike Boom or the massive increase in the use of bicycles in Indonesia by urban communities during the COVID-19 pandemic is unavoidable. Stress and the desire to maintain health during a pandemic, are the triggers that emerge from urban communities to start cycling. These activities must have other factors that can trigger a unison action. This massive cycling activity is not the first time in Indonesia and can be categorized as urban culture. This research aims to understand this phenomenon through online literature studies that discuss the history of cycling itself, especially in Indonesia, the factors that cause this phenomenon to occur in unison and massively in urban communities, and the resulting impacts of that matter. The results showed that celebrities greatly influence this phenomenon, and its impacts are divided into environment, business, and design.
