If you don't like the new parking fees don't go there, it's what I intend to do. Best way to protest is go to a place that wants you there.

Helmsley charges bikes for parking so I don't go there I take my cash somewhere else.

As does Bourmouth, so again I don't go there anymore.

What makes me laugh is there often pay and display, which doesnt really work well on a bike.

shop owners will soon be screeming when it comes down to
oh shit we arnt makeing any money                                                                                                                                                                             

Wotcha.

I can remember when Matlock Bath was a quiet place with hardly a bike to be seen.  In fact when we did rallies at the Hollybush Inn, Matlock Bath was one of the few places with cafes open on a Sunday morning for that post-hangover brekky.

Now that it has become infested with tossers ( you know the ones I mean ) the place has gone downhill . . . .  . there again, I still love my dinner at the Riverside Chippy, although not as often as I used to.
