Sorry if this is a non bike post but No, Bangkok is not burned to ground. Small part of it is burned by small group of selfish politicians. I have a perfect write up below of what is happening. A much better word than mine, because I am speechless…. now time to clean up the mess.
To all my dear freind overseas,
You probably know what has happened in Thailand especially yesterday. You probably realize that there are no photos or response from your Thai friends in Thailand . Why? It is simply because we were all shocked and closely followed the news since early morning.
Pedal Speed magazine issue number 4, is out, and to name a few from San Francisco, Box Dog bikes, Mojo Cafe and American Cyclery. And if you remember, Cyclezine and friends event in Bangkok last Summer, Bangkok Drag Race, got our way into the magazine with several spreads count up to 12 pages. Of course in their home town, CMWC 2009 truck race report which I was also around drinking a tall can.
I am hyped and cited to see the product. You can get them here at Pedal Speed site or Most Kinokuniya book store around the world…
Ok – it took me 4 days to come down from the trip. I feel like I have to wrap up the CMWC before it’s too late, but there are more stories and photos from Tokyo that I have to dig out to share. For now I will just say……I Really had fun. Tokyo oh Tokyo, what did I get from Tokyo? Let see, two pairs of Japanese natural indigo dyed denim pants, two Japanese chambray shirts, hundreds of new friends, and a proof of true love. Yes – I asked, and she said Yes.
Finally- landed in Bangkok- I’ll be here for two months!
I just wanted to say ”thanks” to all my friends in San Francisco who, in the last minutes before my departure, equipped me with all these goodies needed for CycleZine to organize a very big alleycat race here in Bangkok. Please stay tuned for the schedule.
A million thanks to:
Box Dog Bikes
Chuey Brand
Freewheel
Freight Baggage
MASH
Macaframa
and Pushbike.
Thanks guys. SF represents very strong in Bangkok.
And of course, not to forget- the Moulton is being happily transported to Bangkok in this roomy Serfas bike case.
