It's just taken me 25 minutes to find a motorcycle parking space near work. I've ended up parked more than half a mile away. Add in the time it took to drive to work, and the time it took me to walk to work from where I'm parked, and I could have probably walked from home faster!
Fortunately it's almost certainly a one-off event - it's the holidays, and I'm normally in much earlier when there are a lot more spaces, but even at this time there's usually a few spaces free. Maybe I should start thinking more seriously about buying a push-bike, I need the exercise and I could chain that to the railings inside the school, not leave it on the road.
Slightly later: one of my friends journals mentions that the railways are screwed up today, maybe that's why there are more bikes around.
