“How to avoid buying your bike again every 6-12 months and tips for how to apply the same reasoning to other things, like computers”
I kid you not, there’s a guy who does this on a regular basis off a popular trail I frequent.
So much so that I met a random cyclist 40 km from my area, who mentioned that this guy tried to do the same to a friend of his.
I know two people personally who’ve been nearly thrown off of their bike or e-scooter by the same guy.
He’s attempted to do the same to me three times, with the last requiring that he get up from a laying down position and RUN at me full force.
There’s absolutely nothing that our justice system can/will do to get this asshole off the streets.
Nasty stuff. There was an incident that made the UK national news when a professional cyclist was hunted down by thieves on motorbikes.
Beyond submitting camera footage or calling law enforcement when an incident has occurred, I do not know how you would go about stopping the guy you’re describing.
Terrifying. I wouldn’t have a minimum for jail time for animals.
For starters, the legal system could allow me (and other Canadians) the option to carry defensive weapons, and not punish us for using them in self-defence. I would have no hesitation using bear spray or an extendable baton if I had to, especially on this POS.
I’m a pacifist and would never want to see violence being used as an option. However, if the police are unwilling to help and the courts don’t want to lock people up, I fully support the use of non-lethal force for self-defence and the protection of property. If we simply allow these criminals to do what they want, that’s what they’ll do.
