    logic or personal experience doesn't play here. "Cycling in thailand is stupid," is the refrain and folks just sing it. i reckon the majority of them are couch-bound and would not cycle anywhere, but still they contribute an opinion.
  2. madone
    which is the case on any road anywhere, in a car, on a motorcycle, or on foot. What is odd to me is the people who ride motorcycles or use motorcyclycle taxis daily that announce riding a bike in Thailand is suicide. it just doesn't compute -- I'm not saying they are the same, but they certainly are similar activities
  3. madone
    you are correct, but then no one is arguing that. what is your point? and why the about face? Perhaps you should decide what it is you are trying to say
  4. madone
    i reckon you need to raise your standards
  5. madone
    Perhaps, but Thais on the street smoking pot is quite rare, whereas in my travels, i see foreigners doing the same daily. That is not to say Thais don't smoke weed. I smell weed often as I ride my bike through Thai neighborhoods, but on a busy public street, it is always a foreigner holding the joint

    it is not about marijuana, it is about foreign misbehavior.

    would have to take purachai down with him.

    indeed. oddly i can still venture out my front door and walk 500m to pay for sex or buy a bag of coke.
  9. madone
    exactly

    hardly instant. How long was he waging his war, and how long has he been out of office? It has taken years to bring him to task, and it remains to be seen if this arrest is all just for show

    I reckon that on certain parts of the island, you'd be hard-pressed to find local expats that didn't have a bag of cocaine

    yeah me too. The story is very different in tone from what I read last night, saying he was swaggering and posturing and working without a work permit, He was allegedly manning the weed shop for a free room and a cut of revenue

    oh really. thanks for sharing.
  14. madone
    yup, that is off-topic, Thanks for letting us all know bikes are bad.

    As an aside, i dont think you quite understand how hostile an environment the us and UK are becoming for cyclists. having experienced both over the years, I'm far more comfortable here, folks behind the wheel may be more potentially negligent, but they arent malicious

    i manage about 10km each year and have for 3 years running That said, i have been cycling all my life. I agree that no one who isn't very comfortable on a bike should start jamming in traffic

    I know, right? all those cardio and metal health benefits will kill you!

    Cyclist road deaths are a drop in the bucket, they are a mere outlier. you are far more likely to die as a pedestrian, driver, or passenger than as a cyclist. poor bastard, although i wouldn't mid if i went on a bike ride than in decline on the sofa

    no im saying the picture makes it clear she was travelling with the animals in her large bag.
  20. madone
    Don't her pointing and the size of the bag in the picture clear that up for you? or they took the basket out of the bag.
  21. madone
    what a tired cliche.

    I went for a walk last night, and there weren't many, but i saw a couple. What kills me is they chased away the vape sellers
  24. madone
    sure its venomous, but barely. also rear fanged, so not really a bitey boi
  25. madone
