Default Pay & Display parking

you those types of parking where you get a parking ticket that you have to put on your dashboard in your car? How do you handle those with a bike?

I had to use one yesterday. Since I knew in advance, I took a Ziplock bag with me. I placed the ticket in the bag and placed part of the bag under my pillion seat with the "zipper" portion hidden. The ticket is thus protected from rain and can't fly off due to wind.

Of course, if someone wanted to take it, there's nothing I can do but I didn't have any problems.

What do you people do?

Here you'll get a parking ticket (not the good kind) for that. I do wonder however where they'd put it to make it would fly off...

I work in Center City Philadelphia and the Parking Authority is very lenient. As long as you do not block the pedestrian walkway you can park your bike just about anywhere on the sidewalk without getting a ticket.

Over here, the laws are enforced differently depending upon the city you are in.

In Zurich, they have begun to crack down on motorcycles on the sidewalk. The only place it is legal to park a motorcycle is in a specially marked motorcycle parking area. A single bike is NOT allowed to park in a car's parking space - this is only allowed if two bikes park together in one parking slot.

In Basel, they are more lenient - you can park on a sidewalk as long as pedestrians have at least 1.5m (about 5 feet) of space to walk. And from personal experience, I know too that you have to leave at least 1.5m space near any crosswalk ... that one cost me $80.

Where I work they make us pay for parking our cages, we can park our bikes but not in a parking space until after 5:00pm, there are very few motorcycle parking areas throughout campus so for those of us that ride we park where we can.

They have permits for motorcycles but they are only to help the police identify who the bike belongs to, these permits do not allow us to park in regular parking spaces, still have to wait until after 5:00pm, so they are useless.

If I wanted to park my bike in a motorcycle parking area I could, but it's two blocks away. That's not gonna happen.
