Motorcyclists cannot park

By hairyMuppet

Why is this? What is so hard about parking your bike in an efficient and considerate manner that bikers find impossible?

Near my work there are 3 bike bays capable of holding 15 bikes in total. But they rarely hold more than 9 because bikers round here seem to be a bit too dim in the parking stakes.

Either they park at 45 degrees, right across the bay, somewhere in the middle or on their centre stand (on a hill!) despite the fact that everyone else uses their side-stand (hill – duh!).

It’s not hard is it? You park at the extreme edge of the bay, the next to arrive parks beside you and so on.

Why be the only bike parked at a strange angle in the middle of the bay? Why hog so much space that a bay for 5 bikes can only hold 3? Do these people think? Do they care? Obviously not.

Bike spaces are limited – it’s high time bikers showed some consideration for each other by the simply learning how to park! Perhaps they should add that to the new test.
