Paying for parking?

[Matt]

I have a monthly car space through work at the Tournament Lombard Street in Wgtn - but the attendants are difficult, you park on level 10, you have to display a pass on your bike and take a ticket on the way in/queue for 5 minutes to sign out (not easy with gloves!) - looking at renting a space somewhere else, but going rate is $40 a week for a single space!

Don't fancy parking the 'bird on the street over winter!

To me, free parking is one of the benefits of having a bike instead of a car. I'd be pissed at having to pay 5 bucks a month, let alone 50.

I have free parking 24/ 7 in a very secure location in multiple locations if required hehehe

In 20 months of riding around Auckland my total parking bill is ~$0.00
Not only free parking, but often closer & more convenient parking than when I owned a car.
I also have more space in the garage at home for storage with the scooter taking up so much less room than the car used to.

Thanks hiss, I went in and asked the attendants and they said long term is fine, and they lock the building up tight at night so my bike should be safeish

All council owned carparks have free bike parking, and that is one of them. You should be ok leaving your bike there long term, I know others do at other Council carparks in the CBD. Not sure about Mercury Lane, but other Council Carparks have security cameras and attendants etc as well.
