    Airport Parking

    So seein' a friend off at the airport today, not sure where to park so I just put it in the big main public park, locked it to the trolley collection thing, then saw the prices ($2 for first 20 minutes, $2 for each 20 mins up to 2hrs and then it's $3 for every hour after that) and thought hopefully I'm outta this pretty quick.

    Well, plane delayed for 4 hours and I got roped into hangin' around till then. So when I left, I casually waited for the pedestrian crossing to clear and weaved out of the carpark through the cage-stopping poles and out to freedom.

    Whaddya reckon? -> Champion of justice? Standard as, it's in the Passrite course? Risque? Hand yerself in ya deviant little bastard?

    Bout the norm...
    If I can get away without paying for parking I will, if you want you could pay about 20% of the bill as thats all we use.
    We all have our little obsessions...

    I didn't know Mbikes were obliged to pay for parking. I'm sure you could put a bike outside a copshop for an hour and no one would bat an eyelid.

    For the record there are bike parks all round the ITB - cut a lap and find them
    Because I can...

    Why add building when you've already got terminal, not that a terminal necessitates a building but being an airport it's kind of implied. I might ride out to see if I can find these parks anywho, just for fun, and to ride off the pain and anguish of having been called a dumbass, however mispelt, and the insult of my "brown-ness" take having been totally denied.

    Burn.

    You did good.

    And the temples of his Gods

    Wish I was on my bike after dropping my daughter off at the airport for Brazil, just over 2 hours and had to pay $12 to get out. They must make a killing at that place. Next time I think I'll just fork out for the air ticket to Auckland would be cheaper than food (for the 7 of us) and petrol costs for the day.
