Yeah, I’m all for repurposing other peoples garbage but there are a lot of factors there, most having to do with safety.

I’m just new boot goofin, but it’s probably illegal cause of safety. That’s a decent fall and with boats going up and down the canal plus falling into a rusty bike after it’s pulled up is jaw clenching

They told me it was viewed as stealing the bikes and that that is why it was illegal. We never had any safety incidents as far as I know. We all could swim and there were not that many boats where we did this. Also, it was not that big of a fall if you would fall in. Maybe 2 meters or something?

Funny thing is it’s actually bad for the economy at large to needlessly waste money. Money not spent on a new bike is money that could be spent on other things or other investments. But wasting your money is good for certain individuals, i.e., whoever sells you that new thing. We just have an economy structured around all of us acting like crabs in buckets, pulling each other down just to try to get a little bit ahead ourselves. A better economy would be built upon cooperation and efficiency, not mutual sabotage and needless waste.
