Time Limit to Bike Parking?

Does anyone know if there’s a limit to how long a person is allowed to keep his bike locked up to a public bike rack? It’s an admittedly small gripe in the grand scheme of things, but someone locked up this Ross in our preferred parking spot in Dumbo a few weeks ago and has yet to return for it. Bike parking’s at a premium around our office building and at a certain point this violates the social contract, no?
The photo shows a bag over the meter, so in this case with a broken meter the Ross parked there won’t get a violation.
Lock it up to the other side, Your Brownness. Problem solved.
The solution is more bicycle parking, not ticketing of parked bikes. Also, I don’t see how you are actually blocked from using this spot — you can lock on the other side for example.
If you’ve been to Amsterdam, you’ve seen the piles and piles of bicycles locked up everywhere possible. That’s what it looks like when bicycles become a significant part of the transportation network. That should be our goal in NYC. The more bikes locked up all over the place, the better.
I think the owner of this bike ate some food at Bubbys and is still recovering.
I guess it’s not impossible that the owner fell ill (or worse). Eh, what are you gonna do.
This is what happens when a project is not fully thought out for the longer term ramifications.
Couldn’t the City Council pass a law on this? Then new “bicycle maids” could be hired and they can chalk the tires and issue tickets on the honor system.
Parking meters work perfectly well, too.
these bike racks are where old bikes go to die (and slowly get stripped). Most I see only hold remnants of what once might have been a bicycle. Eyesores really.
