    Spot on, I'd be pissed if some scooter or bike was parked behind me so I couldn't get out...a good swift kick would sort that out

    It's not just scooter riders, I saw today in Wellington near the defence department, 5 bikes and a GN parked right across the front of them. The other bikes would have had to go backwards up on the pavement to get out, what a dick.

    No, I park on Queen's Wharf, in the shed which has the indoor sports in.
    I can't think of anything witty to say.
    Ahem.

    I didn't even know there was demand for bike parking in Dunedin.
    I visited Dunners a few weeks ago and it looked to me that a lot of the bikes were quite shabby, much uglier and older than in Wellywood or Dorkland.
    Would you say that's true?

    they dont care , this is where we need more parking for motor bikes, they want us to take alternative travel, so get us some more parks.

    Gotta agree with this, need more bike parks. But in secure, sensible places not out-of-the-way, behind-the-building but in the open near city and urban centres.

    Worse than scooters et al inconsiderately parked is the dick who parks his prehistoric pushbike under C block at the Waikato Uni. He doesn't use the bike stand (provided) but parks it beside a doorway. Not so bad in itself but that's also a nice sheltered place for motorcycles. I've often, as have otrher bikers, parked their motorcycles there and the prick's moved them out so he can stick his treadly where he "always has". Even though the Uni is a "no-bashing-in-the-face-of-someone-who-richly-deserves-it" workplace, he hasn't touched my trumpy now we've had a reasoned discussion about likely consequences of it happening again...

    yep...i avoid parking in town because of this. if im the first in the park, ive gotta park with my front wheel level with the cars alongside so i dont get blocked in. ill generally use a long park a block over from town that hardly ever gets used [im usually the only one there] so i feel its safer.

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.
