PHUKET:-- Phuket Town Mayor Somjai Suwansupana has ordered council staff to investigate the origins of thumb tacks being strewn across roads at Saphan Hin Park, believed to be a ploy to get cyclists to pay for tyre repairs or even buy new tyres.

 

The latest incident came this morning (Jan 29) when cyclists fell prone to many thumb tacks on the roads at the popular public exercise park, located on the outskirts of Phuket Town.

 

One female cyclist told The Phuket News that about 10 of her friends’ bicycle tyres were punctured by similar tacks two days ago.

The tactless tack man?

Putting on my Colombo hat (did he have a hat...????), this may not have to do with puncture or tyre business, maybe some walker/runner (or plural walkers) don't like cyclist on their path bothering them...!!!! ????
