I wore it everyday for 2 years when it was a mandate and followed the law in the counties I was in. I'm talking about NOW when it's no longer mandated and the world has moved on except for Maskland.

It's called not being a coward and getting on the right side of issues early on. It was masks this time and next time it will be some other nonsense to comply with. Something you're totally opposed today will become mandatory, the majority of people will take it up and then you'll comply in order to make them feel comfortable. That's the pattern people are stuck in today. There's nothing rational or moral about it. Just the sheep following the Shepard.

No one is acting they're actually afraid of a virus for many months. No behavior has changed at all except for the masks. It's obviously just a matter of good manors now.

The problem is it's putting extreme social pressure on the rest of society. If a critical mass of people start doing anything it becomes a cultural norm and it extremely hard to break. Most people wearing them are doing so because of pressure, not because they really want to.

Asians just like to cover their faces in general.

So what actually is the origin of these dogs which are so potentially deadly. Just I did a little search and found this: Interesting, bred for a "cruel blood sport" they say? Well that explains a lot.

You're a good boy.

World World III won't be fought in the trenches but in the Soi's.

I may go that route if I can't find of any of these examples posted for sale. I like the idea of the side rack because you can fit the entire bike. Sadly on one of my bikes the old frame broke and the only one I could find in Chiang Mai last year has a built in seat post which is an awkward shape and would be difficult to insert over a post. If you could get the wheel locking mechanism I bet some local metal work guys could be rig something up like those pictures.

Yeah just looked on Aliexpress and I don't see those bike racks but I do see those surfboard racks. Any idea where I could find one of these?

Interesting I like that. Since it's SE Asia also maybe I can find one on aliexpress. Yeah it would upset the balance of the bike and prevent any hard turns but that goes with the territory. You could probably setup a dedicated bike just for this purpose pretty cheap.

That's looks amazing! Needs to be imported though I suspect. Any idea where to find one? What I used to do was tie the frame down horizontally so your bike was now like 3x wider. Totally dodgy.

I forgot all about the most obvious solution. ???? Not sure how I could setup a rack on that though and I hear they're pretty hard to drive. Something covered maybe be nice also.

I used to have a setup where I could detach the front wheel of my road bike and hang it off the back of a rack on my motorbike so I could transport to a destination to ride but it was clumsy and not very safe so I stopped. My question is, what is the smallest/cheapest vehicle available in Thailand which I could use to transport a road bike on? I've seen some electric vehicles and various mini-cars but I don't know what they cost or how exactly I could setup a rack to transport a road bike. It doesn't need to go far, maybe 20 kilometers or so so something on slower side is not that bad.

I'm looking around at land prices in Chiang Mai (outside the city in the NE parts) and there are plots up for sale everywhere but the prices are surprisingly high, at least 1 million per Rai. Not talking about in the city off big roads, just random plots around where I live. Do people who know the land market know if these prices are normal or is there something happening right now? For comparison here is 1.6 Rai in Columbia SC for $11,00 USD. A fraction of what you would pay in Chiang Mai. Not sure if these are comparable but still, the US land is much cheaper so it makes me wonder what's going on here. Is it really possible you can buy land in the US cheaper than in Chiang Mai?
