Do you park in spaces?

Parking space... All the way up to the front of it with my bike angled so I take the whole front of the space. The only time I've seen a bike knocked over by a car (presumably) was when it had it's tail out close to the end of the space... I'd imagine giving the jackass whipping his car into the spot more of an opportunity to stop is a good rule of thumb.

See I guess my thought process if if you leave part of it visible the car wouldnt swing in at all...where as if you were in to far thats when they barrel into a spot and fuck your shit up.

Unless when you pull in you are next to a geo metro and a honda civic, while you are in the store, those two leave and are replaced by a suburban and a crew cab long box pickup. now what was the end of the spot, is now closer to the middle, and unseen by the dumbass cager.

I agree with OSP, but depending on the store/location, I will park on the sidewalk too. I've often parked next to the lawn mowers out front of many a hardware store.
