    Is it just me or has anybody else noticed that more people are parking their bikes with the front wheel towards the curb. Have they started teaching this when somebody gets their Motorcycle license or they just don't give a crap. I thought it was obvious to back into the curb. 1 it makes it easy to see traffic and to pull out and 2, it makes for a quick getaway if the needed. Like when your girlfriends husband shows up. I know I'm a pedantic prick but it just looks wrong.

    Yeah i've noticed that too, I reverse park generally but depends on the grade it's on, i'll park front wheel to the curb only if i'm on a upwards grade, for the flat and on a down-wards slope (to the curb) i park rear to the curb

    Same, backwards up hill is hard work.
