You do that here you'd be missing your bike whole or parts when you woke up.

Then it have to be painted orange. Or have an orange going fast painted on the side.

Whatever, I wouldn't want to pay for fueling one of those thirsty devils.

I don't really like paying for hotels but to each their own I guess. Wouldnt be so bad if it was a diesel. After the conversion and subsequent trip I could always sell it to some successful east van social media influencer or something.

Mostly I just think building one would be a really fun project.

Over here it is U Lock, cables, the full treatment as well, especially near popular bike parks and in the Alps. I have met quite a few riders who have trained their trail dogs to be the alarm system, sleeping outside.

One thing that's always mystified me about Vancouver is - where the heck do poor people live here? .... Like aside from a basement apartment in a shitty part of Surrey, where would someone with a household income under $75k that has kids live in the lower mainland? 

Since when do poor people pull in $75k?  

You're right though, the gvrd is made for the well off... to rent out their basements.
