  10. London rules would mean you just moving the scooter to accommodate your bike. Scooter riders are deemed lesser people and they’re usually riding utter shitters. Therefore they usually just get dragged over so others can get their bikes in. Alarms or not.

  11. Peasants and Lords? I like it....
     
  12. Or realistically, most scooters are light enough to be moved and dragged around whereas big bikes are too heavy. So it's more a matter of practicality than of snobbishness.
     
  13. Actually they, or at least owners Volkswagen AG, do make bikes -- a little-known brand called Ducati.

  14. Guilty as charged. If I've found that I can't get my bike out of a London bike bay because some complete tool on a scooter has practically wedged it in, then before now I've had to drag it out backwards into the road, and if I do that I don't put it back in the bay either - it stays in the f-ing road and I don't care what the impact of that is. They'll only do that the one time. Previously I've had to make an insurance claim against a scooter owner because they'd damaged my bike due to how they'd parked it - it was literally leaning against my bike. When I dragged it backwards out of the bay I found it didn't even have a stand of any type, so I left it lying on it's side in the middle of the road. Well, I couldn't very well go and lean against someone else's bike could I, so what else could I do? Some scooter owners are absolute funts.

    Once upon a time I used to think that when commuting in central London that if I came a cropper it would be because of a white van or a taxi. Today that's definitely not the case. Cyclists and scooters are far and away the bigger danger, largely because they are both either untrained, or inadequately trained road users that treat the roads as if they are the only people on them.
