Blocked in

imwright1985 · 08-31-2011, 05:09 PM

So needless to say I am usually one of the first few bikes at school and get a spot up against the curb in motorcycle parking. Last week i was almost blocked in but with patient manuvering was able to get the bike out. Today I was completely blocked in, so I found some pallet scraps and piled them infront of the curb to pull bike onto sidewalk then push it to a down ramp from the sidewalk. Got stopped by the school police, Explained my situation and they said not to do it again.

My question is the bikes that blocked me had wheel locks and steering was locked.......now what am i supposed to do?

Park it in the back, even if space is in front.....maybe they will get the message.

Campus cops are worthless. Try to talk to someone in charge or parking services and see what could be done if this occurs again. You should not be penalized for someone else's lack of parking etiquette.

Take up the whole F'in space. If the idiot ridin the other bike doesnt know how to park, let em park somewhere else!

Fury has a big ass wheel base, Take up some space and cock block the rest of the bikes that did it to you prior.

Show up a little later and do it back to them... also if they ride crotch rockets they can be spun on their kick stands so you might be able to move them a little to get access out.

If this is a common occurrence, where someone gets blocked out all the time, I would just as soon park in standard parking spots.

We get ticketed for that. I have an 8AM class so i will almost always be one of the first bikes there, its a designated section a little deeper than a car but like 3-4 car spaces wide, bikes are stacked in there all the time. If I park in the back then people will try squeezing their bikes by me and more risk of dings.

I understand why they lock the crap outa their bikes and scooters, scooters are stolen fairly often and atleast 1 bike a semester from campus. I was always taught though if you are on the outside of parking, blocking someone leave your bike unlocked so someone can move it, get out then move your bike in.
