Queen Street Parking

Where do you park in Auckland city centre and why? Where are the safest and most conspicous spots (against thieves)? Also, do any parking garages welcome bikers?

I JUST PARK ON THE FOOTPATH OR IN DISABLED PARKING SPACES

Free parking for bikes at Aotea Centre underground car park. Just ride round the barriers, go round the outside, bike areas at each end (by the entry to Borders, and opposite at the other end). Ride round the barrier again when you leave.

Bike parks by the Library, and in Elliott St I think. Or down by Britomart, in that bit with the wierd air venty things.

Or, just park where you see other bikes, that's what I do.

You can park in Chancery Square, just behind High St, legally.

Otherwise, park in Vulcan Lane, or somewhere kinda out of the way. Or downtown car park is also free, and probably the safest.

Don't park by Auckland Uni, had some shits there try and screwdriver my nice, shiney bike one day.

Are there bike shops in Queen St now? Other than that I can't see a single reason to go near the place.Haven't parked a bike there since the 246 days.

if i catch yar in one of the spaces u would never do it again, and as i pay good money for the right to use them. You are a thief,a cad,and you need a good kick in the ring.

Obesity is not a disability, it's a lifestyle choice.

Wow, hey, back up there buster. Disabled people don't want to be treated any differently right? I once caught a disabled person parking in a standard park. Did I say anything? No. Two can play at that game buddy.

Oh FINN,you wouldnt be painted with the same brush as WINJA by any chance would you,the fact that you can park any where you wish and walk half a mile to your destination or ten metres to a shop or waat ever without thinking twice about it,try doing it in a wheelchair or getting out of a car into a wheelchair in a normal car park,me thinks you would change yar mind if it was you in the chair.

Same brush, differant paint (WINJA'S mum is a little brown, mine was a pale skinned Canuck) My mum had cancer and in her final years couldn't walk without a zimerframe (bit like my wife after I give her the old tickle). She would never use the disabled parking. She was one tough mother.

There are more disabled people abusing the disabled parking than able people.

So how do you ride a motorbike?

Sky city parking is good. Put it next to an exit up on the kerb where the ticket booth people can see it. Then just drive around the barriers to get out. I do this all the time without any problems. Even leave it there all night if Im on the turps.
