    Undercover parking in Newmarket?

    Hey all,

    I've just started work in Newmarket and commute on my bike daily I am wondering...does anyone know of any undercover parking that I could use, that is near where all the car dealerships are on Great South Road/Broadway.

    I've been parking in a small space underneath my work, next to a disabled space. However the park doesn't belong to my company! The guy who parks in the disabled spot (who's not disabled, but claims he pays for it so he can park there) drives a big 4x4 and really cannot park! He says that my tiny little Ninja 250 is in the way!

    So basically to avoid the idiot in his big car that can't park, I'm looking for somewhere else.

    Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Cheers

    Quit your job and get a new one that has dedicated under cover bike parking.

    Move to a city that has more parks than buildings. Like christchurch.

    I believe there is motorbike parking in the parking building behind Bond&Bond. I have never been in there myself but have seen bikes parked there plenty of times.

    Kind of hard to describe, but if you know where that little park that has the fountain in the middle is, from there you will see motorbikes/scooters parked inside the building on the ground floor.

    Hey, thanks for that.

    I unfortunately work at the other end of the broadway, down towards Greenlane/Epsom way!

    I was thinking about parking at 227 (westfield) but it's a bit of a walk, esp in the rain!

    I work in Newmarket also and other than 277, I can't really recall any undercover parking off the top of my head.

    Do you ride the lime green 250 on the Northwestern in the mornings?

    Depends, there are quite a few Ninja riders on the Northwestern it seems, but I make sure to put out a foot or a give a thumbs up to those I see! Yours is the first I've seen in lime green, however, and I think I've only seen you once.

    Sounds like your most likely option, unless you just want to leave your bike out in the small showers -- shouldn't kill your bike. If anyone does know of undercover parking, however, I'd be interested to know also.

    Had a client in that building previously, very few unused corners in that building, and yes, the carparks are allocated, and cost a fair whack per year, each.
