Kunming-based project aims to make cycling history
Posted byAlso, @Yawningforsleep my I believe Danmairen is Danish; apparently not ALL people who complain excessively are American.
Kunming-based project aims to make cycling history
Posted byIn any case, Danmairen, your original comment was completely off topic. Here we have an article whose main topic is a Kunming resident's attempts to organize a professional cycling team. Cycling races happen on controlled courses and are not subject to normal traffic conditions, so how is this related to the bad traffic/bad manners of motorists and cyclists in Kunming?
It's like there was an article about the proper way to pet a dog, and here comes Danmairen saying, "I don't mind dogs per se, but I really hate eating spinach."
Kunming-based project aims to make cycling history
Posted byThere are actually plans for a subway/light railway in Kunming but I suspect that will materialise around the same time as Danmairen steps out of his teleporter.

Posted byYou do realize you are actually trying to defend the (of all things) traffic in this fine city? what exactly are "the ideas within"? anyway,, not really looking for a fight. I was just pissed off coz I nearly got flattened yet again today while using a zebra crossing at green light. And don't get me wrong,, I like this place but that shouldn't disqualify me from occasionally being annoyed with potentially life threatening situations. It almost felt like a "You are not Chinese so you don't have the right to say anything"-moment for a second there. :-)

Posted byYea Danmairen, too many people... have you thought of leaving and giving that space you occupy to others who appreciate this city and the ideas within for what they are? Deadly chaos...hehehe you must be from the US, right?

Kunming-based project aims to make cycling history
Posted byLet me be the first to offer a very sincere "Yawn" and a good luck with the project. I don't mind cycling per se but after having experienced traffic in China I would much rather donate to research into human teleportation so we can avoid spending time dodging cars and sidestepping scooters in the deadly chaos known as the Kunming streets. Can you imagine what it will be like in 5-10 years with their plans to make this a 10 million city without building a subway?

Yunnan coffee grower to export to the US
Posted byNever heard of "ECUM Coffee Group", made a quick search on some Danish websites,, no results and no companies with even remotely similar sounding names. Oh well,, that's 10 mins of my life I am never getting back.
