But yea. I would never do it in a place that I didn't know it was "ok" to do it.That said, boy.. I didn't think this would spark such an insanely crazy debate.
perhaps this Corgi in a sweater will lighten the mood...
Did that work? are we all calmer now?

I don't park on sidewalks and sharing parking spots is a rare thing for me too.. probably because I usually use my bike for commuting and tend to be doing that alone But yea. I would never do it in a place that I didn't know it was "ok" to do it.

Shopping centers have the most douchebags ever, they slam carts into your vehicles, hit them with doors, park a foot away from you just to jerk you off. I hate going into the places even with my truck. A warning would have suffices rather than tow the bikes at least they got notice. Tow operators aren't gentle either and usually damage something.
I manage 3 storage facilities and I have never towed anyone, warnings got the message to them. Fellow rider... uhh yeah right......

I think i hear some are upset about where others park, sound like my grandmother. In 30 years have never had a ticket or been asked to move. Few years ago a gym owner asked me to stop in the future, afraid he would get cited for letting me park on the sidewalk. A lot of people like you not taking a car spot but really except for some old ladies most people could care less where you park.

Now, I don't know why anyone would want to park their bike on the sidewalk there. They don't have enough room for the people, let alone a bike.

Depends... I rarely ever park on the sidewalk...it was illegal in a few places I lived and would quickly get you a ticket. Not to mention the little kids who think it's OK to play on it...and their moms who don't understand why that's a problem...unbelievable.
I usually park in those white/yellow lined areas at the end of the row or in an end spot. I almost never park in a space between 2 cars, unless it's right in front and I can see the bike from inside the bar/restaurant/store.
