you in highschool?  we got to park on the sidewalk.  If thats not a choice park somewhere in the open so you can be seen, not in the middle of the parking lot.

Tragic's not referring to that, although you should do that if you really have to park in a regular space.  He's talking about that triangular spot right next to the very first space.  Sometimes there's one, sometimes not.

yeah that area that has white hash marks were cars aren't supposed to park.  I would just get there early and talk to people in the office to see were you can park your bike.  they shouldn't have a problem with you barking in a white hashed area as long as it isn't between two handicapped spots or in front of a ramp.

I've ridden my bike to my High School a couple of times and I like to park in the back of the parking lot just because I'm not comfortable with other high schoolers parking next to my bike. I also put it on the center stand too. Thats just me though, your high school might be different.  :cheers:

I would not bring my bike near a highschool for any reason.

To many idiots with cages and cellphones....

(Of course they might lack the experience to be able to AIM for me like their parents...)

Our school nurse just bought a bike over the summer (way more powerful than mine  :oops:).  She stores hers up against the cafeteria (out of the rain) and none of the students mess with it.   

So, how did the first ride to school go?

It's kinda sad that people have to be nervous about this kind of thing. I know I would be. Luckily I've already picked out a sweet spot for when I turn 16, hahaha. Stupid jackass kids.

same way at my school, theres about three of us who ride to school and we all park in that area. No problems, plus the on duty cop watches over them. :thumb:
