> scamming asshole with his fuckyfucky paper "I don't pay toll" plates.

My first thoughts. Paper plates = scammer. No way to trace. I wouldn't have even stopped.

We could have five motorcycle / scooter parking spots with something to lock it to in the place of one parking spot or a zipcar spot. Bike lanes can be enlarged slightly to allow for motorcycles + scooters easier (since they are now already shared whether they like it or not). Buildings can allocate a space off the sidewalk for parking. Lane splitting could be legalized at stops at least.

Doing all that and more would increase the interest in two wheeled vehicles for people who could use them and free up more space for the rest. It's not a zero sum game - sometimes things can benefit different groups of people. We think too much that if someone has something we dont have that means we are losing out. Not always the case.,

And illegal. They must be perpendicular to the curb at max 35 degree angle with one wheel touching the curb.

However what's the difference between that and cars holding spaces? If those two bikes were cars then there would be three spaces taken not one. Motorcycles are not parking hogs, and most families don't have two bikes to use to hold parking spaces.

If I am riding by I wear my helmet so they know I am a fellow rider. But honestly this isn't the countryside where someone will shoot you with rock-salt. They may come out yelling but you can just say you saw it like that. But I do get it - most people are nervous that motorcyclists are assholes. And honestly some are...
