Ask Windsor Got Assaulted While Biking – What the Hell is Wrong With People?

64 Upvotes

I was biking home from work today, crossing Campbell at Tecumseh heading toward Dominion. Out of nowhere, something smacked me in the head. It was a cup of water from Tim Hortons, the person in the car throw that directly to my head The street was quiet, no one around — and I’m absolutely certain it came straight from a passing car. Some coward thought it’d be funny to throw something directly at my head and speed off.

For a few seconds, I was just stunned, trying to figure out what the hell had just happened. I still can’t wrap my head around it. Why do people feel the need to harass cyclists like this? Just because I’m on a bike and they’re in a car, it gives them the right to treat me like crap?

This is beyond disrespectful — it’s dangerous and disgusting. If you’re the one who did this, you should get a life . And if anyone else has dealt with crap like this in Windsor, I want to hear how you handled it. We shouldn’t have to deal with this kind of garbage just for riding our bikes.

Talk Windsor Inquiring about plumbing issues near the Jefferson construction area

8 Upvotes

Started having plumbing issues over the last 4 days, our drain in the basement overflows whenever we use water from any source in our house. Called a plumber and they thoroughly snaked the drain plus the main we have out front of our house and it didn't work. Said we might have a cracked pipe but I realized after they left that our issues coincided with the timing of the construction they started on Jefferson. I saw at least 4 plumbing trucks in our area yesterday and more over the last few days, and am hoping some of those people are in the group and could comment on what their issues were and if they're similar. I plan on calling the plumbing company Monday to see if that's a possibility, but just kindof looking for a hail mary here that it's not a cracked pipe 😅😅😅

TYIA!

Does anyone in Windsor subscribe to MLB and could advise me on if the tigers games get blacked out? Is it worth purchasing to watch the tigers?

Ask Windsor Family financial advisor/planning?

5 Upvotes

I'm looking for an advisor to meet with my wife and I to review and help us better integrate our finances and plan for the future. Im not looking to hand over our finances. I've seen recommendations for O'Kane in another closed thread but couldn't post for further details. Can anyone recommend if they are right for this situation? Or recommend someone better. I'm already aware banks are not the way to go for this.

Talk Windsor Plastic bag recycling

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a grocery store or business that takes in plastic bags for recycling? Just called Zehrs on Lauzon Parkway and the guy said he doesn't think they do it anymore. They did 6 months ago when I went there last.

I am running out of options here, I have 4 bags full of plastic bags that needs recycling.

Getting sick of businesses still giving out plastic bags but having no where to recycle them.
