the only good thing about commuting in the rain is....
 
....there's always a space in the motorcycle bay nearest to my office at 0830 :D . normally it's jammed at that time, and the hunt for a space begins...

Same here! All the spaces have been filling up with R1 riders recently :roll:

I always get exactly the space I want at 6:45am...

Have you guys got one of those A-Zs with parking bays marked on it? Bloody handy I say. £3 or so at metropolis.

Sometimes I think I'm the only person that uses the bay at my place...

Since I normally start at 10am there is no such thing as a free space in a bay for me, Westminister council really need to sort things out as I've not seen any extra bays been put in since the congestion charge started where I work.

Do you work on Sundays then ? :lol: Oh no, it's obviously because the sun has been out 8)

Jelster - good point.

I've also found that it's getting increasingly more difficult to park - was thinking about writing to Westminster to see if anything could be done. Worth while do you think..?

Yeah, Bruton Lane has to be one of the largest motorcycle bays in London - still fills up though.

We've bless in Hanover Sq, with 4 bays, 3 of them are large; there's a 5th just down the road too.

The problem, as far as I can tell, is the fat-arsed scooters with cut down L-plates taking up more room than is reasonable or welcome!

Been a point of protest for a while with MAG / BMF this... happy to take our cash but not to provide spaces to park in :evil:
