To set up the scene let me tell you what I do. I work as a facility admin for a HOA. My company manages the HOA as well as the club house and outdoor recreation. My office is on the first floor. The pool is behind the building.
So today at work I walked out of my office and looked out the backdoor towards the pool. To my suprise I see a brand spanking new BMW K1200S parked on the sidewalk between the building and the pool. Keep in mind that in order to get where he was he would have had to drive several hundred feet down the sidewalk to get to the pool area. I promptly went and informed the homeowner that he cannot drive nor can he park a motorcycle anywhere but on the road. He then got on his bike, about dropped it from to much throttle while turning it around, and sped off down the sidewalk and onto the road. Oh, and his 10yo boy was on the bike with him :Flip: Keep in mind that its hot here in SoCal so the pool and surrounding grounds are packed with kids and their parents.
My question is do you ride and/or park on sidewalks? I personally don't as I see it as rude, dangerous, and just overall leading to contempt towards bikes. Here in Cali I see allot of people park their bikes infront of stores on the sidewalk. I don't agree with that but atleast it's just a few feet of sidewalk. What are your feelings on the subject?
