New Oxymoron…. Christian Biker.
I’ve always wanted to write something about this for some time now…
In the past, this term Christian would prob be an Oxymoron.

Anyway, you get what I mean…
Looking back @ my past posts… I wonder, does some of my Church buddies get "stumbled" by some of the posts that I put up?
Sometimes I worry that I may be Sunday Christian? (A Christian only on Sunday.)
or
A Christian Christian, my term for "being only a Christian when I am around Christian"
esp Like in the previous posts.. when "My life is put to danger" on the road… I do admit to being quite "Unchristianly" as well… with the "xxyyzz" etc etc… in the past…
But I believe that I have cut that down quite a fair bit since the day I cam back to Christ about 3 years ago.
Getting pissed driving on the road is common… But being in a car is different from riding a bike. For a bike, accidents without injury are very rare… And since when our lives are @ stake… it’s real easy to get really pissed.
Countless time,
- I have been "cut" in by a car who just gave way to another car who was less than 10m from me who was travelling the same speed as me.
- I have been "cut" in by cab drivers ebraking to pick up a passengers
- I have been almost hit cos the car drive did not "check" his / her blind spot.
Sometimes… How not to get angry??
Sigh…
One way… is not to listen to angry music before I ride…
Imagine this… Listening to Linkin Park’s Numb juz before riding home…
I have to admit… sometimes it makes me wanna speed…
When I get "cut" on the road… Instead of showing what’s between the index & ring finger… I show the "thumb"… like this…
Learnt this from a guy from YouTube called Mordeth13 in Taiwan. Cool guy.
Coz, the first would prob start a fight if he catches up with me… But if I were to show him the latter… Dun think he’ll punch me for that…
Thanx for the Tip Mordeth13.
Anyway, hope to continue to try to be Christianly as much as I can… esp when riding.
