Jeez you guys, It’s only a BMW for christs sake. Who cares??? They are the worst riders (apart from scooters). They deserve everything they get - inconsiderate w*nkers.
But then maybe he will think twice about leaning his bike against someone elses in the future.
You did the right thing, they are obviously a complete tosser:cool:
Seems clear to me the BMW owner didn’t park his bike against yours, it was most likely moved there by the person who parked on the other side of him. The BMW rider is most probably just as much a victim as you, actually even more so as it seems his bike was moved by the owners of the bikes on both sides, and possibly even given a ticket!
Without the benefit of witnesses or CCTV, I would presume the other bike’s owner’s innocence before carrying out a vengeful act like that.
Bikes do get moved around in bays, so you should never assume a bike parked against yours was left like that by the owner.
Aren’t we missing the point on this? If the various London Boroughs provided enough bays to park bikes in we wouldn’t have this issue of people cramming bikes against bikes.
sorry mate but i think your worse than the guy who parked his bike and it was touching yours…your excuse that it was bending your exhaust is pale, just move your bike a bit and make space…if not put a note on his bike that you are going to be asking the police to contact him for damaging your bike…then complain to the council about limited parking…moving someone elses bike is purely selfish and annoying…I had my bike knocked onto by someone else in the past…cant prove who it was but certainly did not take it out on the bike that was leaning on mine…your neither judge, nor jury, you are most certainly not the hang man but you have played all three parts…sorry but you are wrong…
Okay, I saw the pictures of this incident and it was VERY clear to me that the person in question would have known that he/she left his/her bike on Alex’s bike. When they put the bike in the bay, there was no way he/she would have been able to get off the bike as there was no room for a leg to get out on either side. Therefore the bike must have been wheeled in there. Also, there was no room on the other side of the BMW to move it over and away from Alex’s bike.
I believe you were within your rights to move it and all I can say is I would have done exactly the same thing as you did. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
My bike has also been broken in a bike bay because some T***er tried to move it with the disk lock on! I came back to my bike to find it damaged and no apology note.
I THINK YOU DID THE RIGHT THING, I MAY NOT HAVE PUT IT ON A YELLOW LINE, BUT EVEN SO CHEEKY FECKER, ITS NOT ON, ITS INCONSIDERATE, AND DOWN RIGHT RUDE. Its the owners fault for parking his bike without locking it too.
I’d leave it where it is maybe then he’ll get the message! Makes me livid when I come back to my bike and see a bike 0.5" from mine when theres all the space in the world to park in my car park at work
