Xavier Richard says he was taking a stroll through his Montreal neighbourhood last week when he noticed a pedestrian hunched over in one of the area’s new bike lanes.

Richard approached to offer assistance. That’s when he saw the thumbtacks—more than 100 strewn across the path. He spent the next few minutes helping the stranger, who had stopped to pick them up.
