Cool Site & Parking Issues
I found a really cool link but dunno how to add this as a perm link on the side....
Arrrgggg....
Anyway, juz to share about it here first.
http://parkingidiots.blogspot
Well, it's about... like the blogg's name... people who have some "issues" with parking.
*I am linking this cos, like some of the picts in there... The nerve of some people to park I don't understand how some people can misunderstand bike lots as a car lot.
Maybe cos 4 bike lots = to the size of 1 car lot??
Maybe?
See for yourself.
See what I mean.
These picts are contributions in that site.
Credit belongs to the people who sent the picts.
But somehow I also am starting to notice that some of the Multi-Storey car parks bike lots are trying to "get their money's worth" squeezing another bike into that lot. Meaning, the bike lots are shrinking!
hhhhhmmmmmmmmm....... I wonder why........
Best of all.... some places dun even allow bikes to park. *Hint hint shopping centers!!!
To know which... simple... The Car park's entrance's barriers blocks from one end of the wall to the other end. Making sure that bikes cannot "squeeze in" there.
Sometimes it makes me think of those olden movies when they disallowed "people with darker skin" to "enter" certain places... Are we still living in that time??
Or the animal farm mentality?
4 wheels good, 2 wheels bad?
Hope the day will come when they will say, 4 wheels good, 2 wheels better.
But currently, this only applies to the Harley Bikers..... I dun even wanna go there about HD bikes...
Anyway, there was this time... I will never forget...
I was visiting my friend who lives in Su***** Plaza... They were one of those buildings that did the "extended barrier" thing. But the problem was that the slope up to the car park was about 3 floors up... honestly, if you were me... would you "reverse" slowly with your leg power to support a 300kg bike down a 45 degrees slope??
Well, I decided to pay for my entrance like any car. I poped in my cash card and proceeded into car park.
Guess what the attendant came towards me yelling and asked me to stop.
And I did.
He said "you cannot come in here"
I was puzzled... I asked "why"
He said "No motorcycle lot"
I pointed at another bike that was parking there and asked "then what is that?"
He then said, "No cannot, you cannot park here."
I then asked "Why not? I paid with my cash card"
Then he said "ok... you wait" He proceeded to call the manager.
The manager came over and said, "sorry, you cannot park here cos this was not a public car park."
I said, "this is not the first time I am coming here anyway I am visiting a friend who lives here..."
He then asked to verify my friend's name etc... like I was being investigated...
Then he said "ok, you can park here, but you have to park in a corner all the way @ the back."
I was really pissed this time and said "No, I paid for the parking like any car and I am going to park in a car's lot."
Anyway, to cut the story short... we finally came to a compromise and he allowed me to park in a better spot and also he refunded me the money for the parking.
Imagine this... I cannot even pay for my parking @ car rates!!!
Anyway this is only my story, there are many others from my other biker friends too...
Are bikers second / third class road users?
