It’s a hardtail, just front suspension.

I always thought I had rhythm. Apparently the mountain bike pump track disproves that assumption. How the heck do you do a lap without peddling? I get stuck half way round.

When I worked in France the Mayor of Nice had a creative solution for the beggars causing issues in the town. He brought in a bus, put them on it, and shipped them off to a hostel in the mountains.

Cycling to work 2-3 times a week and now mountain biking too. It’s not a lot but it’s more than I was doing and it certainly feels like it.

I’d love to see stats of places that turn a blind eye to this kind of crap vs those that clamp down on it. My feeling is that here we are seeing a lot of “drug tourism” from people outside the area that have been told about the permissive attitude towards encampments and the availability of drugs.

After being woken at 5am by the guy delivering the Globe and Mail to next door I now have the driveway alarm set up properly! Works well. I still might get a motion activated sprinkler for the summer months. This entire neighbourhood is suffering from back yard intrusions and car thefts now...

I have a laser pointer. I’ll do it for $50 an eye.

Started off well! I’m into the books now too. Great series. Watching Mr and Mrs Smith on Prime and it’s pretty good so far. I was prepared to switch it off if it was too “Hollywood” but it’s actually artistically decent!

Just got back from Shoppers getting my wife some things. Methhead off his face outside with the staff inside watching through the window. Apparently they just come in and help themselves to crap on the regular. Minimum wage staff don’t need to deal with that.

Hacker Pschorr Kellerbier in cans is pretty reasonable! It’s an unfiltered lager and it’s pretty tasty!

This is an alarm that rings inside the house. It’s heat activated so a bit more specific than the cameras we have and the beam seems focussed enough that animals won’t set it off as it’s placed high enough above the ground. My cameras get set off by raccoons, cats and sometimes odd...

Got this Amazon.ca Seems pretty good so far.

We have a cop that does that too but he’s just one guy and he’s still working too. This is the worst this neighbourhood has been (it’s still not that bad) but it could get even worse. Some roaches need stepped on.

I’m worried that if I set up a neighbourhood watch all that will happen is the old Portuguese lady round the corner will just keep reporting any brown person she sees.

That’s happening. Collections of crap, shopping carts, broken down tents and quite often bikes. Thinking of setting up a neighbourhood watch organisation but I wonder just how effective it will be.

This is an awesome beer. I only picked up 1 can in Quebec and only just opened it now. Really really good. Sent from my SM-S918W using Tapatalk

One recent security cam caught one of the scum in a back yard carrying something that looked like a tree pruning saw or a scythe. The neighbourhood is getting to pitchfork level 5.

The cameras are good but they don’t work for irrational people correct! I was thinking something like a laser tripwire attached to an alarm set 3ft above the ground at the end of the driveway.

…aside from trying to get the halfway house nearby that the cops are always at closed down?

Security cam caught a scruffy crackhead trying our car door handles last night, thankfully no damage. Time to nip this in the bud as there’ve been multiple reports of multiple people in backyards/stealing from cars etc the past few days. I need a driveway alarm that’s reliable and won’t go off...
