Why is the yellow line even there anyway. If the bike was 4 inches to the left it would be legally parked, but still obstructing the pavements kerb for any reasonable use.

Clearly the yellow line was there before the bike bay and having both there gives the the idiot warden who is in training to become a P.M under a coalition government the option to change his/her mind

Camden is the worst for bikes. Pay and display everywhere else is free, in Camden you have to put a ticket on (where?!) hate them.

You take off your fairing and remove the clocks and take apart and insert the ticket behind the clocks glass then put back.
No, though----------- what do you do - whats to stop someone taking off, is it also waterproof or somthing, could it blow off even. 
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

Erm, no, Camden is still free for bikes, although they've been looking at changing that for a while now,
Westminster is still the only council that charges for bikes!
And that's not a pay and display, register by phone only as they realise tickets would just get nicked, or claimed they were nicked!

Parked up to find this bike has been ticketed, free parking bay (Camden) but as he has parked slightly on the yellow line he got a ticket, painful!


I would challenge that unless my eyes are really bad that is not a continuous double yellow line  and is not clearly marked

What has double yellow got to do with anything?
You may misunderstand yellow lines!
And it is very clearly marked

Is that the end of the yellow lines or has he been done for parking just outside the white lined area of the parking bay?
Here in Spain if you are even on the white line of the designated parking area, bang € 60.00 thank you, is it as harsh as that now in the UK.

The ticket would be charging him for being parked on a yellow line!
