lungpeter Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 does anybody knows if the 11th Dec will be a day off so one can ride bike for dad at 3pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smutcakes Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I dont believe it is officially, although they might announce an extra holiday for civil servants/banks etc closer to the time. In fact I am surpised they have not had the TAT out already asking to make it a 4 day weekend. I doubt your company would prevent you taking part if you wanted to. You could always take a days vacation to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 10th of December is a Public holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smutcakes Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Just asked my Thai collegeue, and she said that online is abuzz with rumours of the Friday being made a holiday. Surely its just a matter of time before they announce it. I am staggered they have not jumped all over this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripstanley Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I heard that if you register to Ride For Dad then you are entitled to a day off work. My wife has registered so no work at home on the 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taony Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Why was it ever scheduled for the 11th anyway? Why not the 5th 6th 12th or 13th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonoi Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Why was it ever scheduled for the 11th anyway? Why not the 5th 6th 12th or 13th? Why was it ever scheduled at all?

So for every European with degenerated family tree you must wear black socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puwa Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Whatever else it does, Bike for Dad essentially gives royal endorsement and validation to biking, which in the long run can only be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Whatever else it does, Bike for Dad essentially gives royal endorsement and validation to biking, which in the long run can only be a good thing. My staff, who would never sit on a bicycle if there is any other choice only spoke about bicycle here, bicycle there......OK, they'll forget about it again but a few might be infected with the ride a bike virus. Others may bought a bicycle and let it rot, but some may use it, just because it is there. Or sell it cheap second hand and so give someone with less money the chance to have a nice bike.

Agreed. The more bikes on the road the better. It doesn't matter whether it's racers out training, kids on fixies, or grandma going shopping.the only disappointing part about Bike For Dad was how few of the serious Thai riders and how few farang showed up for the ride in CM.
