Brilio.net - Every year people will go home using various types of vehicles. Starting from private cars, motorbikes, buses, trains, to airplanes. Apart from that, there are also those who choose to use bicycles. What is clear is that their goal remains the same, namely to go home to their family in the village.
One of the people going home using a bicycle was carried out by this man. He shared every stop he made before arriving home. The story can be seen in the TikTok video posted by the account @wong_tengahtt
Currently he is migrating to Yogyakarta and intends to return to his home in Pemalang, a city in Central Java province. The distance he will travel is approximately 200 kilometers.

In the video, it is explained that the man chose to leave at night. He started his journey around 9 p.m. Before leaving, there were many friends and landlady who took him to the road.
Of course, he couldn't complete the journey with just one pedal. That's why at half past 11 at night, the man chose to rest at a gas station. The tiredness in his body disappeared, then he continued his journey.
At 7 am the next day, the man arrived at the border between Yogyakarta and Central Java. Finally he arrived in Kutoarjo at noon. On the way, he stopped several times to rest.
This man always immortalizes moments in every district he passes through. When it started to get dark, it appeared that his journey had entered Kebumen Regency. Even at night, he had arrived in Banyumas Regency.

While in Banyumas there was an incline that made it difficult for him to pedal a bicycle. So the only way is to climb and push the bicycle. The next day he arrived at Asri Serang Valley, a destination near the foot of Mount Slamet. At that point, it was just a little while before he arrived home.
However, when he entered Pemalang district, he admitted that he couldn't pedal because of the incline. So he called his father to pick him up. His bicycle was pulled using a motorbike brought by his father. He no longer needs to bother pedaling.
"My father picked me up on an incline and pulled me with a rope to the end of the incline," he wrote in the caption.

For 2 days and 2 nights he traveled, finally arriving at his home in Pemalang. The man was grateful because there were no obstacles at all on his way. He certainly thanks everyone who prays for his safety.
However, on their homecoming journey , many people actually highlight the travel route. Because Pemalang is located in the northern part of the island of Java. When coming from Jogja, many people ask why they don't go via Semarang or Jalan Daendels.
"Mr. Jogja-Pemalang, why don't you go through Semarang?" asked the account @yourndine
"It's a long way to go, Sis. Because I'm in South Malang," answered the man.
The video sharing the homecoming journey went viral and attracted the attention of netizens. Apart from the route, there were also people who asked how their body was after walking 200 kilometers. Many of them praised the man's efforts.
"In South Pemalang it is still safe to ride a bicycle because there are rarely trailer trucks. Try it at home in North Pemalang. I really cry when I cycle from Jogja to Pemalang, it's really hot, during the day there are lots of big trucks," wrote the account @dooraexplore
"Just using a motorbike, I'm tired and even using a bicycle, isn't that okay?" said the account @adeelll
"It's crazy, really cool. BTW, happy Eid, bro and family. Your efforts really make you shake your head, bro," said the account @Alsnurf9
"I can't imagine how tired he is. Masyaallah it's really cool," explained the account @nuraenii1812
"That's cool, bro. Use a bicycle from Jogja-Pemalang. Not necessarily those who use bicycles worth tens of millions can afford it," commented the account @marindralilik
