Round-the-world UK cyclists killed in Thailand
http://news.yahoo.com/round-world-uk-cy ... 55377.html

A British couple's round-the-world cycling odyssey ended in tragedy when both of them were killed in a road accident in Thailand.

Peter Root and Mary Thompson, who had been chronicling their journey in a blog, died Wednesday when they were hit by a pickup truck in a province east of Bangkok, Thai police said Monday.

The couple, both 34 and from Guernsey in the Channel Islands, left Britain in July 2011 and had cycled through Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and China.

These bikers. They just ride in the middle of the roads like they're fucking cars, going slow as fuck, doing hand signals.

Well, bikes are in fact not cars. Too bad about the couple, sounds like they were having fun.

Moral of the story: Never trust an Asian's driving.

At least they died doing what they loved.

The problem with trying to bike around the world, well other than shitty drivers in other countries, is sooner or later, you run into the ocean. So logically speaking it was only a matter if time for those two anyway. They'd have just ended up in Davy Jones' locker.

You would think that would happen pretty quickly, being from England and all. Maybe they consider that tunnel to the Frogs counts as dry land.
