Question Do you park in spaces?

So, when you are out on the bike, (say you were running to walmart to grab a drink and a candy bar; don't judge me, after a ride) when you park, do you park in a parking space? Or do you park somewhere else, like the sidewalk next to the front doors, or in the little striped place between parking lot isles.

Personally, I think it is a waste of a parking space to put 1 bike in it. I usually park between the isles around the handicripple spaces (not blocking anyone). I normally see most bikes parked there. If I am riding with a few peops, we will all pull into a space or 2...

Where do you normally park?

I'm the same. Not only do I think it's a waste of a space but unfortunately lots of cagers think the same thing. I'm afraid they'll hit my bike in some way.

You realize that space is there in order for handicapped people to be able to safely operate a lift, right?

I know you actually don't see it happen much, but ostensibly that's what the marked-off space alongside the cripple spots are there for.

I don't park there... I park usually at the end of the isle (in the front) normally where they paint the crosswalk... but I don't block the spaces or the crosswalk.


I don't park in the striped spots, but like the end of the isle (no stripes) spots:
