I’m sorry I locked my bike to one of your beautiful lamp posts, but there were no signs indicating they were private property nor that my bike lock would be cut and my bike removed.
It doesn’t seem fair that you can destroy my private property without any warning to remove my bike… I suppose I should be grateful you waited the hour that you did… dicks. —BikerThatCursesHotel

should have asked first o.p., i would want your bike locked to my car, so in future, rtespect other’s property.
that should have read that i wouldn’t want your bike locked to my car. fucking keyboard is all hot and sweaty tonight, again, time to go write a sex novel.
Your own fault. You used the words “beautiful lamp posts”. That should have been your first clue that it was private property and not city.
Because it’s the job of every private property owner in this city to make signs so people won’t park/lock their shit up on their property. *eyeroll*
Use some common sense and stop being a fucking knob. Why is it that everyone who does dumb shit and has to deal with any sort of consequence around here have no sense of personal responsibility? It’s always someone else’s fault.
I’d love to know your address , so I could steal a Leopard tank from CFB Gagetown and do donuts all over your front lawn. Then we could have a deep discussion about the subtle nuances of property ownership. Of course, stealing said aforementioned tank would damage my credibility somewhat, but…
OP I’d be talking about who legally owns the sidewalk, who legally owns the lamppost, who legally owns the bike, who’s right it is to damage or remove property belonging to a private citizen and what legal protocols are in place for such removal. To prevent public parking at a commercial property the owner must erect a sign (or fence) or may face the cost of illegal towing. Actually, let’s just call the police and ask them.
You’d might find that you’d be wrong kay.
Another narrow interpretation of the law, courtesy of kay.
I usually ask people in the building where it is okay for me to park, if I wasn’t sure. I’d rather take the few seconds to move my car than to get it towed away.
It would have been nice for cyclists if the lamp post had a sign. However, sometimes, building owners think that it is unnecessary because it *should* be fairly obvious.
When I used to work at a restaurant in a small strip mall with a large parking lot, a customer parked right in front of the front door, which was a no parking spot (loading zone). We politely asked the driver to move her vehicle, and she flipped out on us saying that there was no sign indicating that she couldn’t park there. It was winter time, and the parking lines were all covered up by snow. So my boss said, you can choose to keep your vehicle there, but it is a loading zone and we reserve the right to tow your vehicle at your cost. I was relieved when she drove away and never came back.
What is “narrow”, suggesting we ask police for clarity? I suppose providing what might be a similar situation is your idea of “narrow”? You’re a fucking idiot, Fever. Do you TRY to be so obtuse or does it just come natural? ALL of these questions are simply rhetoric so just FUCK OFF and GET THE HELL OVER ME. You’re such a fucking goof! (that’s an Ontario term, look it up, fuckwad) You’re obsessed! You ought to be locked up for lack of reasoning under your THICK SKULL. The default “I’m right, you’re wrong, but I can’t say why” is juvenile, boring and it pisses me off. PLEASE grow up then PLEASE FUCK OFF.. and I hardly ever say please so PLEASE lave me and my posts the FUCK alone, asshat!
You see bikes locked to poles all the time.
No one owns the sidewalks. it is considered public property even the ones right in front of your home, or business. If you were not blocking a driveway, access ramp or stairs, it can’t hurt to get an answer for future reference in parking there or elsewhere.
But that doesn’t mean you can LEGALLY lock your bike to it.
But If they had the ability to cut your lock/chain/wire etc. THen they have had this problem in the past…not everyone keeps a ‘big red key’ as we call bolt cutters at work. SO perhaps it would be worth looking into, call you city councillor. After all they don’t do anything now…who knows you might get one to take interest just from sheer boredom !
This happened to me too! I feel your pain!!
They don’t have leopards in gagetown but you could probably get an M113, but think those are even being fazed out for wheeled vehicles.
People’s cars get towed for parking where they’re not supposed to, so bikes should be too. You wanted equality between cyclists and cars, well there you go 😉
A LAV 3 would do. I’d light up the OP’s flower boxes with the chain gun.
Meh, you need one of the Russian BTRs. More wholesale destruction. Less precise.
If it’s their property, they are 100% entitled to do as they wish with your bike. Heck, they should have put it up for sale on Kijiji and claimed “Finder’s Keepers.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, kay’s drunk rants are hilarious. She’s wrong so has to go on the attack like usual.
Kay should receive a World Cup for stupidity.
Go ahead and destroy someone’s personal property thinking it’s yours to do with what you want simply because you found it on private property and you’ll find yourself charged with theft. There are certain protocols the public must follow before assuming ownership of ANYTHING. Consider a high ticket item like a car. Just because someone parks their car in your private driveway does not mean you can do with it what you see fit like sell it, keep it, burn it… no! Calling a tow truck is one of those protocols I’ve mentioned. The same is true for abandoned homes… if you leave your shit behind after your tenancy the landlord does NOT have the right to claim your possessions as their own. This is WHY I think what I do.
Fat, you’ve been hanging around Fever too much (then again, you’ve always been a fucking tool)… scroll up and reread my rant because you could have just as easily been its subject, fool. Complete this sentence and THEN you’ll have something useful to say… “kay’s wrong BECAUSE…..”
BTW, Fever was the first to draw teeth and claws… for no reason at all but that’s very typical of you bitches, fight first, THINK and GROW later, stalk 100% of kay’s posts… whatever.
Get over you, right?
You must be off your meds again.
yeah, the one they found made out of coke…
As a Pole I am offended when people chain bikes to me without asking – slurp, pass the vodka.
Good one Basil! Too funny. A little tonic with that vodka? Pass the ice.
And just a twist of lime…
mix it with diet rootbeer…
very good at masking it. even the crappy stuff.
or even better… the ultra-sugary powerade.
plus, if you choose a red one, you’ll look like you’re throwing up blood a little later.
trust me… you will.
i had a can of palm beach vodka drink last night…tasted like wait for it. BEEP. hear that mr. blue

kay’s wrong BECAUSE…..kay’s stupid. You’re right, that was useful 🙂
PG, they were pushing that a few days ago at the LC I was in….
I liked the pineapple mango but damn it’s so sweet….
i won’t be partaking again…the only cooler i enjoy is black fly
When I was young and foolish, now I’m old and senile: A bunch of us were stuck in the house snowbound, we had tons of beer and liquor and mix and proceeded to chug it down, when we ran out of ice cubes someone suggested using frozen brussel sprouts – I still shudder.
oooh vile little cabbages…wait who is it?
Halls mentholyptus make a good ice cube substitute, but much depends upon the lateness of the hour and the quality of the spirits.
inebriated with clear sinuses. mmm
And reduced risk of cough propelled power-pukage…woohooooo!!! LOL!
I’d likely have used peas… at least you could still chug the whole lot.
I don’t think I’d dare swallow a brussel sprout… let alone whole.
i’d rather spew up peas than whole brussel sprouts…i do enjoy cabbage just not the mini ones
Caught the eagles having breakfast this morning OL. Not able to watch as often as I want to ; must be discrete in my flagrant misuse of gulag property.
can you guys: ivan and ol re-post that eagle site pour moi, pretty please
Google Hornby Eagles, Painey and you’ll be all set. Junior is surveying his domain as we speak. Scree, Scree, Scree!
merci ivan
