Other thing to consider is if the pavement is highway, private or "public realm".
- Highway footways (i.e. immediately adjoining to the carriageway and usually only a few metres wide) will be covered by any restrictions applied to that length and side of road. So if there are yellow lines, they apply from the centreline to the back of footway. If it's a restricted zone (e.g. park in marked bays only), same thing. No idea how active the wardens are - you could try scouting one on the day and asking him/her politely and see what they say, justifying about lack of security in a normal bay?
- Private obviously is private; you're likely to annoy someone. Could get keyed, possibly removed but no idea on the legalities - I think clamping has been done away with now?
- Public realm is trickier (e.g. open spaces, which might include blacktopped areas in town/city centres not adjacent to highways). If there's no parking restriction, the parking wardens (CPOs usually) can't issue a ticket in contravention of that, but there might be grounds for obstruction.
Other thing is to look at where other bikes are parked?
Edit: FWIW I work in Ancoats in Manchester and the civil enforcement lot here are unbelievably active - park on a yellow line and they'll ticket you within 5 minutes. It's a spectator sport. I don't ride my motorcycle to work, but I do see others parked up and locked to cycle loops. Never seen any with a FPN attached to them . . . doesn't mean they don't get them, but I do see a lot of cars with FPNs. ____________________ TG. |

Double yellows extend across the pavement to the boundary of the adjoining properties, so if you plot up there on the pavement side of the lines you'll still risk a ticket. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

Many moons ago I did ride my CG125 to pass a motorcycle theory test, it was in Piccadilly. I asked a traffic warden about bike parking, and he said (words to the effect) "just dump it anywhere, we don't bother with bikes". I think I just left it in an alleyway, and luckily it was still there when I came back.
Now that may have changed since 2003, but I'd be tempted to ask one of them if I was parking near town, you might still get this friendly common sense approach. Obviously you'd still spit on his back when he walks off though. ____________________
