Westminster are bringing in parking charges for bikes even after the biker protests.

Its only £1 a day but wait a few years and it will be 3 or 4 quid an hour.

Just make sure you have your phone on you otherwise your buggered!

Yup, Pete has been paying a quid a day for his bike - I guess they saw an opportunity in the spike of motorcycles and took it. :(

The parking office HQ/hive is just around the corner from here... maybe leave them a goodbye present when we move office this weekend? :D

Right, so they encourage people on to 2 wheels to "reduce congestion" then punish them for it! I wonder how long it'll be before they start charging cyclists for parking!
Nevermind it's much more civilised out this way :)

Fiona, Ziggy
Dont joke! they are aparently looking at the possibility of license plates and insurance for cyclists, and then obviously parking charges!
