Some boroughs in London have started to charge motorcycles for using the previously free parking bays in central London. This seems like a really negative approach, especially when one considers that commuters are being encouraged out of their cars.
Why charge bike riders, many of whom are car drivers who have left their cars at home?
Just another way of earning more revenue at the expense of the motorist.

The only reason they are charging for the bikes is because they can now.
Before people would just pinch the tickets off of the bikes (as they are unprotected) now with the pay by phone service there is no excuse for them not to charge.
It is another way to charge people for using Londons roads and facilities however i think it is still fair and as a car driver all i can say is it's about time.
Businesses should get a discount when working in their local area though. This would be far to much work to incorporate for the feable government.
Maybe the next time I'm walking down an ally and borris comes riding past I'll ask him?
