Wasn't in the way of anyone or anything, it was just behind a bloody bench.

Fuck Wellington! It's full of fag parking wardens! Fuckem all!

[James Deuce]

Eh? We actually get looked after rather well. I have no issue with Wellington City Council providing free parking for me. I do have an issue with motorcyclists who constantly grump that "not enough is being done!"

Enough what?

What is it you want done?

More parks?

Ask nicely, provide a decent case, and you too could have your own memorial bike park, just like I do.

[Drogen Omen]

wooohooo i got off my ticket cause the park i use is private property and parkwise /city council has no power... hahahahahaha

councel said "the warden was in the fault this time and should have checked the arial photo's"

next thing we need to do is get the bike park at top end of willis street by the G4M shop (just up from the manners street lights) to be extended to allow at least another 10 bikes to park there.

Dunno about 10, but there are some ridiculously small carparks there that might as well be turned into bike parks - so often there's a car parked with its back end hanging over the bike park, and its front over the vehicle entrance. You could maybe fit a Golf there, but not much bigger. Certainly not the Ram that often parks in the vicinity ...

I usually get to park my bike in the office building carpark opposite, but otherwise I end up heading down to Mercer St to get a park.

In order to have a memorial anything dont you have to be dead

And you wernt even using it today...

[Steam]

Yes I reckon it's for dead people. Not the bike park, the word "Memorial".
When he announced his victory in getting a bike park there I saw the thread and thought "Hey Jim2 is dead!"
Perhaps he is anticipating his death, setting it up so we remember him when he's gone.
It could be called a "monument", but it's a bit flat for that.

That's because there were road works vehicles parked in the bike park when I got to work.

Nothing so morbid.

I organised the park, and 3 weeks later they moved my group to Jervois Quay and et al labeled it the Jim2 Memorial Bike Park.

Now I am back at Abel Smith St, I get to use my own Memorial Park.

You should have gotten the parking warden to ticket them, provided you could resist stabbing him while he did it

[James Deuce]

I like the parking wardens. They get cars towed out of the Jim2 Memorial Carpark.

One more car towed and I'm an Ace.

Congrats on losing the ticket

Can you describe in more detail where the bike park you mentioned is? G4M is 124 Willis which is on the corner with Boulcott St opposite Manners St. I'd like to add it to this thread.

Cheers, Rob

[Drogen Omen]

Where i park my bike is up by the Athena college next to the church on the corner.

The bike park that needs extending to allow for more bikes is the one infront of that restaurant just up about 20 meters or so from the G4M shop.

I,ve often thought the same thing,they squeezed two car parks in next to it,one of which is rediculously short... should just extend the bike park up to the next driveway for sure
