Do you have a motorcycle park at work?

We just put the finishing touches on a new, covered motorcycle parking area where I work, outside of a hangar in the Mojave desert. Man is that ever going to be nice! Do you have a good place to park your bike at work? The is the first time for me in over 20 years of full-time employment.

We haven't got any parking that's labelled as motorcycle parking so I'm somewhat envious . We have however a 'porch' area around the ground floor of the building and nobody complains so far if we use this area to park motorcycles or bicycles. Mind you, there's only one person deranged enough to ride a motorcycle to work at the moment...

I ride to work every day. I park outside every day. Rain, shine, debilitating heat...etc.

The two Ducati guys and I all park next to the bicycle rack. Just us being cheeky I suppose

we park bikes right in front of the lobby as that is concrete and the landlord complained about kickstand damage to the asphalt.

No. Not even allowed to park within 30 feet of a building.

Yes, we have plenty of it. You can park anywhere you want... just like cars.

Years ago I worked at one place i was told to park in the farthest spot from the door.... Apparently the day before i had parked in front of the door backed in and as i fired up my R5 350 twin two stroke with expansion chambers some one was coming out the door and filled the lobby with Smoke... Ops...

1st come 1st serve in the general parking lot of any of my offices (18 of them)

Nope. And worst of all our warehouse is only dock-height accessible. Huge indoor area to park my bike in during bad weather, but no ramp access. (OK, if I built a ramp perhaps and Evil Knevil'ed my way in...)

Imma let you finish but first I'm goin to bitch a little.

Worked at VDOT years ago. The motorcycle guys had found a square patch of parking lot close to the building that was completely inaccessible to cars. Those bastards charged us to park there all while before we started using it was just wasted space. Feap Chucks.

When I work at blue collar places like factories...riding a bike makes you a super hero. Worked at Allied Signal for a few years. Great deal there. Close to the door. Covered. They even had the machine shop create us a strip of steel an inch thick to put your kickstand on. You know how soft asphalt parking lots get in summer. The steel worked great at keeping your kickstand from melting into the asphalt.

I work in a retail environment so I park in the lot along with everyone else. It is nice walking outside and sometimes seeing two or three other motorcycles clustered around mine.

The Air Force tries it's damnedest to subtly curtail bike ownership, so no.

Yup. The last 2 places had bike parking. One, covered right at the entrance, the latest, just off to the side of the entrance.

We have space for about 15 bikes, they put these little "steel loops" for lack of a better term in the ground so that you can chain them down as well. Then they added this shed thing for bicycles on the other side. Its like bike parking haven.

Apparently the building owner takes his BME dual cross in occasionally instead of his 599GTB so he set it all up. Guy is completely insane.

John Deere Dubuque Works had a dedicated bike parking lot near every entrance. Large, no lines, and concrete. The rest of the parking lots were asphalt.

My present job does not have any dedicated bike parking, but because I am in with the guy that runs the pattern shop across the street, I park over there when I ride my bike because there is way less traffic and I dont need to use a gate pass to get in over there.

I went to a job interview at a Google-like company in DC. The HR Director had his bike parked in the lounge area where I was interviewed. Right in the room on the carpet. Very nice!

The three-letter-agency that I am also hoping to work at has a section quarantined in the middle of the parking lot for "Motorcycles Only". It's not covered, nor is it somebody's office, but it's pretty cool that they were looking out for motorcycle commuters.

Where I work now, in Queens, I park right in front of my office building's entrance. While all my coworkers are looking for parking, I just slide in and park for free. It's a pretty good deal.

12 years ago the Offutt reg stated "parking in striped areas is forbidden except for motorcycles." This enabled me an my lower ranking buddies primo spots by the door, much to the annoyance of the GS employees. We had to start carrying copies of the parking reg with us when we got hassled.

Here in OK, there is a sizable biker community on base, so we have parking, and it's a good use of wasted space up front.

But covered? Man, I am jealous

I work for a Law Firm in Downtown Dallas. They provide me with a nice parking space in an underground parking garage with my name on it. When I decide to ride the bike to work instead of my car, I park my Honda Ruckus right in the middle of my big parking space, right in between all those Range Rovers and BMWs.

The office building our company leases in has a nice section right at the entrance of the parking garage for bikes. It's got raised cement barriers so cars can't even try to park there. Garaged at home, garaged at work, the bike has never once seen bad weather :)
