Hopefully there is one you haven't seen before. A couple more are available by pm only.

LOL.

I have to admit to being guilty as a cashpoint cripple. Took the SV to the nearest town last weekend, rode down a pedestrian precinct, parked outside the bank. Used the ATM (as I wasn't going to go into the bank wearing full wet gear - hassle of taking helmet off etc), got back on, rode the rest of the pedestrian area, and out through the bus station.

Got a few strange looks, but it made me chuckle.

We came across a couple yesterday - it bl**dy obvious there's a dip 'cos the road just appears to stop & then start again a couple of hundred yards away - even OUR highways agency isn't moronic enough to leave a patch of empty ground between 2 stretches of road - are they ?? :?

Thats totaly accepatble to my mind. I know a few cash machines where i can actualy stay on the bike while i use it. Ok i have to ride along the pavement for a mo but thats ok innit?
But to park in a disabled space and deprive those who genuinely need it is just soooooo wrong in my mind.

Agreed spidey. If a white van can go down a pedestrian area, then so can I! (granted they have secure RF tags fitted to the van that lower bollards auto-magically - but my thinking stands).

I'd never ever think about parking in a disabled spot, in the car or on the bike. I'd just put the bike on the path next to it. :evil: I have been known to put my Ford Galaxy bumper touching the bumper of another car parked in a way I didn't like it as well. I don't recall anything in the highway code that states how far away from another vehicle I must park!

(As a side note, riding through bus stations - that happen to be close to a university, is a great place for ornithology.)

I'm sure that they must have those disabled signs at Brent Cross shopping centre.
