But as its the one way my partner feels safe riding (her ablilty) then she is at least doing the 2 wheel 'thing' her way...

3 wheels isn't a bike. Stay out of bike parks.

I've never driven a Can Am Spyder or a Trike or a bike with Sidecar, but if I ever do I won't be parking it in a motorcycle space- I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it, but that's just me.

If trikes become much more popular (i.e. CanAm starts selling really well) then simply due to their size they'd start filling up the bike parks and regular 2-wheel bikes wouldn't get a look-in.

If it's one or two trikes once in a while, it's not something to stress about.

But...

My point was - don't they pay a car rego?

If so, they're not bikes, they're cars...

So why do they get free bike parking just because they're missing a wheel?

Does mr fucken bean get free parking in bike parks?

+1
And driven with a car licence too, so no way can they qualify as a bike.

Mr Bean drove the mini and forced the robin to tip over, he didn't drive the 3 wheeler

It is not because are missing a wheel it so it must be because they have handle bars and bike like controls that people think they must be bikes.

Does that mean if I convert my SUV I can park in bike parks??

Had a couple of them go past, while riding, on the weekend.
Got a big wave from both of them, which really got me worried.
I thought something must be wrong with my bike as CAR drivers never wave to me otherwise.

The Can Am is big, parking it in the bike parks in Christchurch would be the mark of a wanker. YMMV could vary in other cities (maybe our ones are just small).

There is one here that parks in wellytown bike parks. Because the thing is so long he can’t park it 90 degree’s to the curb, so he has to park it on an angle in the bike park. It takes up 4 fraking bike parks. He left it there for 3 days as well one week...... Knob
