Bike bays

Post by c4aok »

More of a bitch than a post but don't you hate it when some fu@#er moves a small scooter touching your bike so he can squeeze his bike in. If I could identify the culprits I would move their bike into the middle of road ..... assuming not a heavy maxi scooter :)

No one is going to drag my mp3 anywhere.

What gets me is when a biker/scooter parks so badly in a bay they take up more room than one bike or park so close you can't get your bike off the stand. It used to be a nightmare when I had the cruiser which was very heavy and had a side stand only. Several times I had to move another bike so I could stand the bike up to get it off the stand.

Try chain linking. Can't move anything then.

I have a rant when car drivers park in the bike bay at the local supermarket or if i go to park the car in the disabled bay when a snotty yoof who obviously is not a blue badge holder parks there because he /she was too lazy to park in the correct place . I have a talking alarm on my srv and its a bit rude when some one tries to move it .

You often get car bonnets overhanging but the wheel
tyres still "legal" behind line. I cant move a car lol.

It is all about consideration ultimately so I try to think whether my parking will cause someone else an inconvenience

Westfield shopping centre at derby have no specific bike bays. You pay the same as a car. Subsequently, i make sure I make full use of "my" space when I park Bod there.
