Anything wrong in doing this?

[classic33]

It is a parking spot, and a bike is a vehicle... Does anyone have a problem with this?

 

[slowmotion]

Yes. The bike owner's being a total self-righteous prat.

Actually.

I like it! Though they should have parked a fair bit back to stop anyone blocking them in!

I spotted that too! If only he had done that he would have got the yellow jersey for being a complete tool.

Yes. You should never root for the Florida Gators.

It should only be necessary where there is a lack of adequate cycle parking and complaints have gone unheeded, in which case it can help focus the minds of the car park management on provision for cyclists.

 

[slowmotion]

I drive too. Not a lot, but enough to know that finding a parking space in a car park is sometimes not easy. It's pretty easy to put your bike somewhere apart from a parking bay. It doesn't cost you any money and it doesn't inconvenience you in any way. Why gratuitously go out of your way to upset strangers. BTW, if the bike owner can't see that, he ought to go out and live a bit more.

Grump.

Would they really be surprised to find their bike dumped over that hedge when they got back?

Or worse still, in a crumpled heap, with a "SMIDSY" note attached .

If the bike belongs to the company's M.D. it's best to leave it alone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[vickster]

I'd feel happier if it were locked to something!

 

[Joshua Plumtree]

Isn't there something about a bicycle having to be secured against something else (bike rack or post) to insure that it doesn't fall over and cause a hazard.

I thought about parking an old bike on the road outside my house during the summer to make sure we had a parking spot for the car, but wasn't convinced I'd be strictly within the laws of the road.

 

[welsh dragon]

I can see the funny side of it, but on the flip side, maybe it would be better locked to something, and out of the way. But it is funny as well.

 

[thecube]

Yes. You should never root for the Florida Gators.

I have to disagree with that one, Go Gators.

Anyway, there's probably loads of parking space elsewhere in this carpark, this is the USA not a tiny little car park in England.

I'd just move it!
