    I work in an office Bath in Miles's Buildings, George Street and currently commute using the train.
    It will be far more cost effective for me to ride my 125 here and not to mention the experience I will get doing it.

    Aside from not really knowing my way around bath (or how to get here.. yet) I was wondering if anyone knew where I can park and leave my bike all day while I work that's relatively close?

    Thanks.

    There's free bike parking on Queens Square, or just off there in what I believe is called Quiet Street Failing that bikes are also free (I think) on most of the on-street parking

    I've seen bikes park by a park which is not far away but I didn't see any signs so I was weary of having to leave it there for 8 or 9 hours every day.

    Awesome, if its all free then I will definitely find a route and come in on my bike sooner rather than later. ;D

    Please take a disc lock or something - Im always nervous about parking up in town for any lenght of time, especially if your bike is there regularly.

    Yes I will, for definite, I did get one but it doesn't fit my bike so I'm trying to find one that will. I put a chain around it while its parked outside my flat already. So far this year my car got broken into and my push bike has been nicked so the last thing I need is my bike being stolen. >

    Try to lock it to something, maybe the lock of the bike next to you. (not their actual bike)
    Keeps you both a little safer as it causes problems for those that would lift it and throw it in a van.

    See the goon brigade have got rid of the bike park at bog island and got a lump of tarmac pavement there now which is really nowhere near the bus stop for punters--

    --obviously initiated by some paper shuffler looking to create the impression they do somat useful in council :-*

    yeah plenty of places to shove yer bike--no probs on most streets. Queen SQ. isn't there a road round to where you'll work?
    I need amusement in my sad life and it looks, very much, like you fit this requirement admirably..............begin the amusement!!!!!

    Ahhh I just Googled and Queen Square is the place I've seen the bikes that seems closest to me as I don't think I can park on milsom street. So it will be ok to leave it there everyday you reckon?

    Well yes it should be absolutely fine but I was thinking that there might be a road by your place of work--to save a walk really. Have you checked around as it must have some access road ?
