I broke the cycle by only buying ugly, heavy yard-sale bikes. I found out I didn’t have to lock them. The extra weight and difficulty to pedal helped my training. My good bike stayed at home inside, locked to something immovable, waiting for weekend races. Ride something heavy and ugly. I was tired of losing bikes!Ěý—Ruperta Orcas

Where would they like these modules built? Homeless who now won’t be homeless or will have better housing are not a threat to your children.
Ridiculous! Shame on Marpole residents and their assumptions. Its not about your kids, its about sheltering those who don’t have a home.

Trust is justifiably low in a city where governments that can barely handle snow removal offer Band Aid solutions to a housing crisis they created, with some disastrous experiments already (e.g., throwing hard-to-house individuals into low-income buildings). Concerns could be addressed to avoid a polarized situation: careful interviewing, with neighbours actually involved, to enhance community connections. —Janet S. MillerĚý
