    Second set of parking spaces. At first I thought maybe he didn’t want anybody parking beside him. The loading makes sense though.

    As a rider I understand the reasoning for this. I have had my bike hit three times from someone zipping into a parking spot not realizing that my bike was parked there. To prevent this when there is no parking spots specified for compacts or bikes, I too have used the marked wasted space. I do not use any that are part of the handicap spots. Call me an asshole if you will, but I too like to protect my investment when no one else provides a safe place for me to park it.

    I'm not saying it is right, just that I have done it before to prevent finding my bike on the ground when I return. I know not everyone will agree with me but that's fine, I can take the criticism.

    I guess it depends on where you live, here in NE Florida everyone pretty much understands "If you value your life as much as I value my bike..." don't "mess" with it...

    Same here. I got my bike and literally three hours later, at a home depot none the less, someone hit it and knocked it over and took off. Brand new bike and it now has damage. I never parked in another parking spot again and never got hit again.

    One would think that it's the big truck that gets in the way, but maybe it's just the ego, that they need the truck to carry around, that gets in the way. :boink:

    Around here it's just the fat folks, skinny folks, full size, mid-size, mini, micro, rich, wannabe rich, middle class, poor, and just plain egomaniacs that can't park.

    Doesn't matter that they parked on the sidewalk, can't walk there anyway with all the snow
    PS - this is in front of a county owned low income apartment complex. They NEVER plow the sidewalks in the winter. Yet the city commonly cites homeowners for failure to clean the walks...
