If someone can start one of those web petitions (if I knew how, I would start one), but yeah, if someone starts one, I'll sign it

WCC Policy does encourage bikes. It just doesn't encourage bikes with engines.Like the 4x4 coment, we should be encouraging transport that doesnt clog up the inter city roads. Bikes/Motorbikes
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Ever tried doing a search based on a VIN plate?
Better get rid of that too

And while you're at it... you'll need to chain it down so they can't move it.

Knowing how Govt agencies work if you go to extreme lengths to "fight" them then they'll prob just clamp your bike so that you couldnt move it if you tried and the only way it would be removed would be if you paid the fee. Failing that they'd probably use bolt cutter or whatever they had to do to remove the vehicle to another yard then you'd have to pay a fee to get it back. Either way the Govt/councils or whatever will usually win.
The thing that worries me is that if they do start charging bikes to park then they may police the footpaths and make sure where not parking there either.... could imagine that the fine for parking on the footpath would be increased too. Its all about money, as Deano said user pays, doesnt seem to be fair tho!

Hmmm... so I can pay $9-$10 a day to park my bike on the street where I have no control over what plonkers do to it all day, or I can park it securely at work for $11/day. What a choice I face.
BTW - having no plate and parking on the footpath hasn't involved a ticket yet.
From my office window I can see a bike park. It has room for approximately 2 cars. What do they pay, $4 an hour? In that park and the surrounding footpaths are approx 19 bikes. That's a good financial return for the council.

unless you clamp it yourself (does anyone remember that car scene in Coyote Ugly)...
or you could get flame-thrower thingies if anyone tries to move your bike that get slightly 'warmed up'

Taking a break
Or you can park it in a car parking building for about the same cost, taking up a whole car parking space, possibly forcing more cars out onto the street. (Imagine driving in a car around a parking building, desperately searching for an empty spot, only to find 10 bikes parked up, one per spot...)
FTR, some parking buildings let motorbikes park for $2 or $3 per day (using space that is too small for cars), which all of a sudden seems like a good deal!

Didn't someone mention something like this in Oz a month or two back?
Could you imagine if we all got up early and went into the CBD, each and every one of us takes a different space so that the cars can't get in.
That would be pretty sweet.

that would cause them to rethink their madnes...

needs to work harder
Now that is getting towards being a good idea.
