    I've seen tickets stuck to handlebars and bikes towed away...

    The girlfriend also had a fine taped to her handlebars for having no tax on her bike!

    I received a parking ticket on a moped once many years ago. Cost me €19, it was attached to the bike in the days before fines were posted.

    If you park in a "pay and display" bay in Dublin you'll get a ticket, so instead we park on the footpaths and once you aren't causing an obstruction you won't be ticketed.

    Private property, the IFSC and shopping centres etc, is a different ball game and private clamping is now legal so you can't remove them any more.

    You can't just remove the clamp and hand it back?

    Back in my biking days yes. A guard gave me one for non display of tax and parking in a loading bay (it was a Sunday - I was working). Called to the station and showed her I had tax but kept the disc in my bike jacket so it wouldn't be stolen off the bike. She was fine with that and cancelled the tax one but the parking fine stood.

    No, they are legal now. Before they were in a legal grey area, they aren't in a grey area now

    Got clamped in a bicycle bay in NCI in IFSC a few years back, was fuming, but got it overturned eventually. Was ticketed because my rear tyre and exhaust where outside the area :rolleyes:

    Would the IFSC not be private property?

    No, it's all a public space. Your man was just being a twat trying to get to quota with any infractions, he backed down for me, but obviously got someone else who was more clear cut. Anyways, I parked in the underground after that despite my reservations about underground car parks and bikes being knicked or abused.

    It is and has private security and parking enforcement. Because its also accessible to the public the Gardai patrol it like any other area in Dublin.
