 Etiquette question?
Folks, when you are going to park near other bikes that are 90degrees to the curb, with the Spyder, do you park like the bikes (90 degrees) or parallel to the road? Do you back in like the bikes?

I always back in and park 90 degrees (or at an angle) just like the other bikes. If there are no other bikes around, I"ll park parallel to the curb.

I usually park the Spyder like I would a car - unless I think it's safer to park somewhere else.

We're a lot longer than the typical "leaner". Be careful to not leave your nose out in harm's way...

I usually park the way the rest are parked.

Kind of depends on how much room there is to park. I generally park with protecting my spyder from whatever, but if room is tight I try and park as the other bikes are parked provided my spyder fits.

As stated by others, I simply back in..rear tire to the curb.

This is also the way I do it.

I just do what the others are doing. However I have never been a with a group that parks on the ceiling so I do not know about that part. Parking by myself among cars, park as the space indicates

Directions for parking on the ceiling can be found in "Mary Poppins--tea party on the ceiling." You will get a real "laugh" from that one.
