Motorcycle Parking

[CGWheels]

I say we start rallying companies to re - stripe a portion of their parking lots with dedicated Elio parking. Especially in a one vehicle wide row. Here is a quick sketch of my idea: (the alternating pattern would allow more Elios to fit in the same space used by fewer normal cars). We could even incorporate our two wheeled friends!

Problem is that there are more "HORSE'S REAR ENDS" on the roads today!

Now THAT's funny! And sooooo true.

I agree completely. I wish I could park far out like I used to. I used to park as far from the door as possible in a place where there were no other cars. Safe, right? Wrong! I would come out and my lone car would be surrounded with other cars with a lot of empty space around them. Go figure! LOL Z

Ditto Zelio, which would drive me nuts! I feel like that lone car in the parking lot, and the beat-up car drives up and parks next to it.

I like this, but some idiot would back the Elio in with the wide wheels in the narrow side and disrupt the earths rotation....

We definitely don't want to ask drivers to think before they park. They're too busy texting, talking on the phone, eating, etc. to realize there is a pattern on the pavement ideally designed for our Elios. LOL :-) Z

I love this simple parking idea....I had to steal that pic for my Elio file folder.

Please enjoy the pic! I threw it together quickly.

I'm not sure if there is already a thread about this, but here goes:
I was just told that I may be relocating to another building. My current building has plenty of parking, so I wouldn't think about parking in the motorcycle spots out of courtesy. The new building...not so much. Big parking problem. So I'm wondering at what point could I park in the motorcycle spots and not offend anyone? Like, maybe November to March? I live in Northern VA, so we don't get a lot of snow, but you don't see motorcycles on the road too much in the winter. It's fairly cold. I'm sure that the spaces would be available. but I'm still thinking that I won't take advantage of that benefit even though, technically, I probably could.

It will be classified as a motorcycle and can legally park there, i guess. But, doubt you could ever park in a motorcycle spot and not piss people off. It looks too much like a car.

Check with building mgt first maybe, or go with the Ask for forgiveness later than permission first! It has motorcycle plate on it so technically if you fit and there's no bikes out during winter, why not? That was as helpful as a sharp stick in the eye, eh?
