On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '
Pathetic pricks, I agree with the suggestion to stack the car parks with bikes!
Target the worst offending area and concentrate as many bikes as possible, then move on to the next one.
Thinks for a moment:
How many bikers would it take? How many could be mustered? How? hmmm!![]()
May not be so easy after-all!John. (slinks off)
I recon you guys up there should have a KB parking day. Where you head into town at some un godly hour in the morning, get a few hundred bikes to take as many parks as you can (and get harleys to take two, cause they're 'fat') and then listen to the music from the council. What a fucken load of shit.
Like every part of the leadership in this country, its a fucking joke
we should rally up, find the most popular car park in town or mall, then park one bike in each car spot for a few hrs in protest, watch 'happy shoppers' go find another parking spot..
Queen Street, High Street, Around Shortland Street. Enough to get exposure.
I'd be up for 4 hours takeover. One bike per car parking, completely legal with paid parking chits.
Weekend is good, weekdays is jewel.
Organise a time and place. Might as well do a KB meet up in local cafe while we're at it.

Find out where the cunts in council park their cars, then park all around that area!

Excellent, Marmoot. Put it in the events calendar! Probably a weekday morning would be best - that's when there would be the most pressure on car parks in town I'm guessing?
Also we should prepare flyers in advance to make it quite clear to the public what our issue is (and expect some pissed off car drivers to have a go). And contact the media in advance (but only if we're expecting a good turnout).
We should also write a letter to all Auckland City Councillors explaining why it is good for the city to encourage bikes (less congestion, lower emissions, less parking space) and telling them exactly the outcome we want (more dedicated bike parks and/or not ticketing bikes that are parked on a footpath without obstructing it).
OMG I better go and join BRONZ immediately... I'm starting to sound like one of them![]()
There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!
Anyone care to initiate?
A simple white paper marked "we want safe parking" is enough volume.
K.I.S.S (keep it simple & stupid), most car-only persons would not be able to read more than 2 lines of text.
Save the trees, they should only be used in fireplaces.

its possible their thought process is that we have free parking at all the parking lots anyway, so why should we be able to park on the foot path as well.
I am keen to join in on this but I think a weekday is out since most people wont get out their jobs to do this
I would say perhaps, get in early sat for the lunchtime shoppers.
what number does it become worth doing? 50 bikes in one carpark?
also this could backfire on us if they decide to check wofs/rego's on everyone and some of us get pinged.
I only posted this because of the global economic crisis
Parking up the city centre for the sake of highlighting the stupidity of council.... hmmmm
OKAY I'm in! lol
We would need to get enough people organised to move the bikes one space up every hour just to get the full effect though, I think in peak times there is a one hour limit in town right?
Target the number of spaces, assemble that many bikes plus 1, so no space is ever left unoccupied, move them up one space per hour, need a shit load of coins to make sure we don't get tickets.
I reckon it would take less than a week to get council 'looking for a better solution'.

Can anyone actually confirm what's going on with Council though. If this is a policy move then yes - fight it. If it's one warden with PMS then I see no need to highlight a problem that doesn't exist...

make sure they don't extract any $ out of this: ensure your WoF and Rego are all valid, and display (tape VERY securely) paid parking chits on your windscreen to make your bike 100% politically correct. Needless to say, park right in the middle of the carpark bay, lengthwise to make sure no cars can pull in
Policy or no policy these parking wardens and their masters needed a lesson anyway.
Demand a secured bike park while we're at it. A simple metal bar along a bike parking bay would make it 100x more secure!
I'm so fukcen (sic) sick of these bike thefts around the city.

A variety of different parking orifices have been targeting us Uni bikers for the past couple of months for being on the footpath -- we've got our own bitch and whine thread about it.
I would definitely be up for some parking chaos, but it's very important to check the rules for parking meters; on certain ones, it's actually illegal for bikes to use them, even if you pay. I know this was the case in Wellington when they were discussing this. Just check the rules first otherwise this could backfire.
