Stranger moving your bike?

[Newo]

And what about those lazy fk's who don't take there helmet off when the go pay for there gas ....

One of the few countries where you can do that (for now) without causing mass panic or fear for loss of life without any consequences. Mind you I guess that depends what part of the country you are in

I do however, remove my helmet.

On the subject of bikes being moved, I personally witnessed some trades people moving a scooter out of the way so he could park his tin can with balloon tires between my work van and the end of the car parks. The fool moved the scooter into the middle of the footpath where there was heavy foot traffic (high st, auckland) and left it there sitting right in front of a shop entrance. In the process of getting it up the kerb he dropped it on its side causing plenty of paint damage.

I was so outraged at the time I swear I could have put his vehicle on its side. Not long after the scooter owner returned and I happily directed his rage towards the culprit.

Knowing what was about to unfold, I got the hell outa dodge.

Uni parking gets pretty tight on sunny days... recently this cunt has decided to semi-parallel park his/her bike, taking up more space than is necessary. They have been parking like this for the last week. I left a very polite note on their bike yesterday but found the bike in the exact same place again today (with the note still there). Either they sleep at uni or got fucked up crossing a road (heres hoping).

does this give me the right to move their bike? Its really starting to piss me (and other bikers) off.

That sort of intelligence indicates it's probably a member of faculty.

Lol crack up,
what annoys me is here in town, there are a few spots of like 3 - 4 bike parks painted up in lines, which is great, but the idea been, you back your bike into it so the back wheel is on the downish area of the gutter/road, makes sense.
You park your bike up, go see a movie/get lunch/see some mates/buy something/get a hooker or whatever, come back and some fluf cunt has come straight in so their front wheel is against the gutter forcing them bike to lean over/onto yours, it makes it a super prick to get your bike out without knocking theirs.

Intelligence or arrogance?
You could try boxing him in, one in front, one behind and a scoter beside their bike. That way you don't have to touch their bike and haven't really done anything wrong. If they parked correctly they would be able to be boxed in. :Wink:

Also fuck removing helmets.
Only had that problem ONCE, EVER, at a mobil store that happened to be the same day and store they wanted me to prepay a bike fillup.
I say store, cause that sure as shit isn't a service station.

That bit of parking is munted

But

Ive a feeling that, parking at 90 degrees to the footpath , is actually illegal, not sure someone else can confirm

Anyway from the Me generation thats a perfectly acceptable bit of parking ...I'm alright

Nahh dude I think you are misssing my point.Theres families in Christchurch with no roof over their heads. Theres thousands dead in Japan. Theres a poor bloke in Albany killed by a twisterPeople (maybee even KB people) dying or very sick of cancer and other miserable stuff. Viewed from that prospective someone touching a bit of metal seems so insignificant a thing to get upset over.
Again if the bike was damaged hey I understand but touching it .

Not missing the point at all. I actually agree with all of what you have said.

However, it is all totally out of context. None of the problems you sight has any direct relevance to my daily life, my bike does.

All I'm trying to say is that it doesn't matter if it's someone's pride and joy or a beat up old pile of junk - if it's legitemately parked then it is not to be touched. I was brought up to respect the property of others.

Yes, it most certainly does. As i've always maintained, if a bike is not legimately parked then it's fair game. They threw the first stone by disrespecting the right of at least two other bikes to park.

Maybe it's been pinched and dumped there, if it was not moved overnight??????

Perhaps reporting it to the Police would reunite it with it's owner, and get it out of your way?

There are no lines in that particular park that I can see, so at which angle do you suppose the bike is offending?

Indeed you are correct. I was assuming that it had been seen to come and go prior to one apparent overnight stay.

I was working under the assumption that this was a legitimate (as in designated by the University) bike parking area and, as such, parking with courtesy to other riders by minimizing the space each bike is using would simply be good manners. However, you are right that there are no markings or signs apparent in the photo to this affect.

Right, so what is legitimate is defined by the markings provided by the institution or council body?

As shown in that example, what may be legitimate to the above might not apply so well in the real world.
