I don't ride my bike to work due to all the dust and chemicals in the air around the plant. Hard enough keeping her clean as it is. Then I'm only 5 minutes from work and she wouldn't even get warmed up good. Ride safe guys

Lots of thoughts on this.

If it is a spot designed for a single bike why no just park to the rear on a slight angle to prevent someone from blocking you?

Are they normal car spaces designated for motorcycles only? If so I guess your other option would be parking towards the edge(line) and leaving yourself space. This way even if someone parks next to you you have an exit.

Park your bike as close to the opening (end) of the parking spot...front tire facing out, leaning towards the inside of the spot. You now have "command" of the parking spot.

I would probably look for the owners, but I wouldn't waste a whole lot of my time with that...who knows how long you'd have to sit around and wait. Feed 'em fish heads.

I'd think that would attract people to your bike, like while they are out there smoking or something.

That would never fly at my work. The landscapers would have that thing covered in grass clippings in no time.
