Bike rack spaces

[biggs682]

Don't you find it annoying when a fair weather cyclist pinches your regular space in the work provided racks

I also find it annoying when there is eight spaces, and the only other commuter on the day moves your rear wheel, and squeezes their bike in next you yours.

And i find it annoying, but I accept it, when someone parks their bike carrier behind the bikes in the locked shed.

And when the student TV station park their cargo trike in there.

I have a few more Shed Gripes

Never had a job where there have been bike sheds, in fact I have not had a job for the past 42+ years.

Used to happen where I work, then they moved to allocated spaces, of which mine is number 8 and expanded the number of racks to encroach into parking bays.
Supposed to be pass only access, as it is part of a car park under the building, so you will get bollocked by security if you are caught on camera tailgating to get access and will get similar treatment if you use someone else's space. And your space is supposed to be taken off you if there isn't a valid reason for regular non use, but I don't know hard that is enforced.

Nobody really uses my spot because of the big, dirty, oily, stained patch on the floor that looks like something died there. No idea where that came from

My work's built a second bike storage area at the far end of the underground car park. It's 30 seconds away from the existing one. Hardly anyone uses it, preferring to squeeze into the current one near the door/lift. Perfect place for me. And my spare bikes

I find it annoying when other commuters leave their locks on the bike racks like they have reserved them

And don't get me started on those absolute savages who can't fill the racks properly, and by that I mean alternating bars-in/saddle-in/bars-in etc.
Gets me so angry I could crush a grape.

Mrs 26 sometimes hangs her bike in my spot in the garage. I get my own back by using hers (as it's empty)

I'm only annoyed when their bike is better than mine, ie always

Try to think of it as a harbinger of spring, like the fresh shoots on the trees, the first lambs in springtime, first swallow of the year etc..

I hope these thoughts will ease the tension in your life.

Grrrr, leaving oily chain to brush your trouser legs on. What kind of moron stands on the transmission side of the bike when parking?

Our racks are so tight together that you can't stand beside the bike, you have to thread it into the narrow gap available, which is barely wider than the pedals.

Is "they nicked my parking space" a valid defence for murder where you live?
