You sound like a Daily Mail columnist on question time.

He certainly does.

yeah, like the person who parked their purple vespa in the cycle racks at the supermarket. HELLO, cycle racks! i couldn't get my bike out without trashing his vespa. oops.

HELLO.. Perhaps it was the only secure fixture they could lock it to. Scooters get stolen too, you know.

"So I Trashed it, Oops".

Ignorant idiot May it happen to you one day

Quite. I can't count the number of pavements destroyed by unthinking motorists. They make the lives of the wheelchair bound and the prents of young children unbearable. It also costs council tax payers thousands of pounds a year because of all the paving flags that have to be renewed.

Over the course of this last weekend I got shouted at by a cyclist for daring to put a foot in a cycle lane as I was crossing the road (he was a good 10 yards away and there was zero chance of me being in his way) and then in a totally separate incident got screamed at to "get off and walk" by a pedestrian for cycling in one of those ridiculous cycle lanes which are on the pavement

Fucked if I know whats going on, seems like there are far too many angry people about who just need to chill the fuck out

What tosh. You're not entitled to go chaining your scooter to whatever takes your fancy, and bicycles are much easier to lift than a scooter. A scooter is a motor vehicle and it belongs on the road.

I ride both, and drive. Personally, I don't think many people are capable of thinking from any perspective than their own in these matters.

Have you never heard of off-road parking then ?? The road isn't the only place to park, private land is fair game once the owner is OK with it.

Supermarkets (and others) need to provide secure parking for ALL two-wheelers, not just bicycles. None of the supermarkets near where I live have objected to me locking my M/C to the frame of their bike racks.

If it's a legal place to park and the owner of said rack doesn't mind, then I'll continue to park there if its all the same to you

Having the courtesy to ask them first made it unlikely they'd turn a paying customer away anyhow, especially one that has already had a bike stolen from a supermarket car park only 6 months ago due to a lack of secure accessible locking points

(oops, slight derail. Sorry bout that)
