I spoke tho guy afterwards and he was saying that he had put in numerous emails, phone calls, letters etc to get the raillings put in to chain his ped up. Its just another advantage to riding with a camera all the timeThere are some places in the US that have dedicated motorcycle parking but it is hit and miss.
You did good looking out for the scooter rider and documenting the incident.
Pretty much the same here. This is only the second time I've seen it. The first time I was in a car and there was no bikes around. Still gave the guy some shit and then there was this one. Very differernt if you are with yourslef vs with others.I've often been tempted to do the same but the risk of things escalating are not worth the risk to my bike.
