Crazy Cyclist near Tumen

The Long Horse Ride. 1stOct09. Riding into Tumen on the Great Wall of China, Gansu. Filming the ox cart which is quite unusual in this part of China, when I was nearly boshed by a kamakaze cyclist. (Before I get any more comments about it, I realise I am on the 'wrong' side of the road, but it was a quiet road and safer to give a wide berth to the ox cart - the horse was unused to this sight, and was likely to spook out in front of traffic as I was overtaking. I was right over on the verge and oncoming traffic could see me clearly).

YOu were on the wrong side of the road. Learn the bloody traffic rules, dude.

@ilvtofku No need to be offensive! And read extra comment in my description. It is a whole different ball game riding a horse on Chinese roads. As I am sure you are aware, most Chinese are quite used to 'going with the flow' as far as traffic is concerned.

Woah that was close!

Still you managed to say "blinking hell" - just proves that if in trouble - stay British.
