On Saturday 19 June we ( https://www.notobikeparkingtax.com ) are going out to demonstrate against making bikes pay to park.

You are welcome to attend.

We estimate there will be at least 10,000 fellow bikers on the demo.

If you think it's ok to pay to park your bike, please don't come.

Your call.

I won't come then. I don't need special treatment because I have a bike. A bike is not a blue badge.

I'd pay if these parking spaces were more common and had fixed anchors and dedicated CCTV which would be useful for proving that one brought a ticket in the first place...

A lap of the M25? Whilst it sounds like fun I'm afraid I'm washing my hair that day.

Are you intending on going slowly to cause disruption?

Sounds like such an awesome ride out Laughing

Wouldn't live or work in London for love nor money. Divide and conquer or not, I quite honestly couldn't give a shit about the parking regs for bikes in London.

[smug] I'll just relax up here with a modest income and the Dales and Lakes on my doorstep. Life is worth living eh? Wink

i wonder how many london bikers would ride a 300 round trip up our way to call in a greasy spoon cafe before going on to the town hall to support us up here, not many i expect but cos its london they expect all to go to them, and no i'm not bothered if i'm missed, i'm with stelmer on this one.

So you flounced out of your other thread, returned, then created another thread on exactly the same topic -
Which many would suggest is protesting to make parking bikes in Westminster harder and likely to lead to more damaged bikes?
Or possibly just to further annoy car drivers and get them to generally dislike bikers by inconviencing them, rather than the people that take this action - I'm expecting more people swerving towards me if I take the M25 after this.

I wonder if you would still feel righteous if someone was had up in court on Death by Dangerous driving after taking out a filtering bike when they explained how the biker was 'wrong' and "shouldn't be allowed on the road" after they had got frustrated by your protest.

a cunt is still a cunt, no matter where he is

Protest about something that actually matters to most riders - such as the insane cost of fuel.

If paying means I get a secure space with a ground anchor and no scooter chavs scratching my pride and joy by trying to squeeze in next to it, then I'm all for it.

I'd rather we protested against something genuinely serious like rising fuel prices or the introduction of sattelite tracking and speed control. This is the real threat to motorcycling, not some council in London wanting to improve facilities by charging for them.
