britgent Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 After venturing out for a bite to eat I was returning home on the moat road by Riders Corner at about 40kmh only to have a young gent clearly see me then pull out right in front of me nearly causing a collision. When I say nearly I mean I was full on the anchors and only just slowed down in time. Thinking "we were all young once" I let this pass only for said young gent to then haphazardly swerve clearly into my path again and I swerving to avoid him. It was at this point one lost their cool and beeped but really this young curly haired hippy is going to either die or kill someone riding like this. It wasn't intentional he just looked stupid to be honest. Probably American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mrjlh Posted March 13, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2013 Seeing you obviously don't like Americans, I wish I could contact the gent and scold him for missing you. But that seems to be a typical Brit attitude. Oh sorry chap, did I just step on your knickers? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjmark Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 How on earth did 40km on the moat road become "foolish"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) The fundamental point of the OP is valid, many tourists behave the same on bicycles as they do as pedestrians when crossing the street, with much niavety and possibly stupidity. BTW it was a decent post until the last few words where he set in excess of 250 million people up as enemies, very foolish and totally unecessary.

britgent Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Must admit the last bit was to add some joviality to the topic and to goad some good local friends. No offense meant but thank you for taking part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense meant but thank you for taking part. 7) Not to post slurs or degrading comments directed towards any group on the basis of race, nationality, religion, gender or sexual orientation. There you go. It wasn't jovial and goading 'local friends' who may not even read Thaivisa is rather petty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
